Is the grass greener at greenfields?


Well yes it is actually... following is a letter we recieved last week from one of our lovely parents:



"My son had been wondering about how education is at other schools as he has only ever been to Greenfields. He finally convinced me to send him off to another school despite me explaining to him that Greenfields really is the best school and will really give him the best education he could ever imagine. But this was clearly something he needed to find out for himself and I don’t regret it at all.

He was very happy for the first few days but this quickly changed once others, including the teachers, were pointing out things about him that were ‘different’ like his use of a dictionary. Students - and believe it or not teachers - were questioning him as to why he was using a Dictionary!!! This even came as a surprise to me as I can’t imagine how anyone could possibly learn anything if they don’t have access to a Dictionary!

After four days at this new school I could see that he wasn’t his usual self and he said this to me “I think Greenfields School would give me a much better education - why didn’t you tell me that!?”  I knew at this point that he really realized that Greenfields really does provide an excellent education.

It might not have the latest sports equipment etc. but what it does provide is an excellent education where someone can actually learn!


I truly want to thank all of the staff at Greenfields School I think you are doing an excellent job and this is sometimes unnoticed! And just in case you didn’t guess the grass is not greener on the other side!”

Many thanks. H.G.
