Open Day: Greenfields School, Sussex - Open for Tours


Discover a friendly, caring and safe environment for your children to learn and achieve their true potential.


Greenfields School Open Days, 23rd February and 8th June.


We recommend that all prospective parents and students come and have a tour of Greenfields School. There is nothing like experiencing the atmosphere and seeing the school in action! We have one of the friendliest and most beautiful environments you will ever see for a school and it is well worth making the effort to get here in person.

HOURS

We are open Monday – Friday, 9am to 4.30pm.

Telephone messages may be left for staff at other times, but private numbers of staff are not given out.

OPEN DAYS

We have Open Days throughout the year where you can drop by whenever you want without need of an appointment. You will receive a tour of the school, an interview with one of our administrative staff and a nice cup of tea!

The official Open Days are:
Wednesday 23rd February 2011

Wednesday 8th June 2011

Teaching staff may also be available to answer any questions, timetable permitting.

Please call 01342 822189 to speak to one of our Admissions staff. E-mail is also an excellent way of staying in communication with us: admissions@greenfieldsschool.com

If you wish to visit the school on another day, not listed here, we will do our best to service you and make your plans work. Please contact our Admissions staff and let us know what you need.

TRIAL DAYS

We also offer trial days for prospective students, this means that they can spend the day at Greenfields in the classroom and with the other students. This is a great way to experience Greenfields as it really encourages the student to find out if this is a place where they would like to come to school. Please call the Admissions department to arrange a time to have a trial day!

John Travolta - What I Think of Study Technology

John Travolta, Spokesman, Applied Scholastics

"Here in California, there’s been a lot of talk lately about research that L. Ron Hubbard did on the subject of study and books he wrote to help students do better in school – something called Study Technology.

Study Technology – an education approach which teaches one HOW TO LEARN – is something that I hold very dear to my heart, which is why I have supported it (and used it!) for many years. As a parent, I want my children, and all children, to leave school with a real chance to make it in the world. Anything that can contribute to that deserves a close look.

But the problem runs much deeper than that. Kids who don’t understand the world around them, how it works and how they can contribute to it, are easily overwhelmed. They make bad choices. The links between illiteracy, crime and drug abuse have been demonstrated again and again.

Study Technology has been in use all over the world for a quarter of a century. It was this exact method that enabled me, someone who never finished high school, to achieve one of my greatest goals – to be a jet pilot. And not just that but a jet pilot licensed to fly six different types of jet aircraft . I have also personally seen this miraculous mentoring tool bring hope and joy to the lives of many children whether in inner-city communities, schools or at home.

I think Study Technology is something worth getting excited about. It’s a tool, and it works. But it doesn’t work on its own. Parents, teachers and students have to do two things first: learn how to use it and then decide to use it. I hope you’ll take the time to find out more about Study Technology and Applied Scholastics. It might change your mind about the kind of future we can create for all our children."
