Take the Free Study Skills Test...

...and find out exactly what barriers
your child may be encountering

Ever WONDER how much your child is really
learning at school?

In education today, children face well known obstacles:

• Getting ‘labelled’ (‘special needs’,‘ADD’ etc.).
• Feeling sad, angry or disinterested.
• Difficulty remembering items studied.
• Not having a purpose for learning or knowing how to revive interest in learning once it has gone.

Less well known is that underlying them there are only three barriers that keep children from reaching their full learning potential and cause actual emotional or physical phenomena when encountered.

Students fail to learn because no one has ever taught them how to learn – how to identify the barriers to learning and how to overcome them.

Study Skills Test
This is a FREE service offered by Greenfields Educational Trust. It is designed for those children
who may need help in their studies, as well as those who are doing well but would like to do even better.

Recommendations may be given but there is no obligation whatsoever for you to act on them. At
the very least this test will show you more about your child’s strengths/weaknesses as a student and how you, as a parent, can help them.

You can complete this test online at: www.greenfieldsschool.com/study-skills-test.htm or contact us and we can arrange getting a test to you.

Raising the Standard

Having “settled in” as the Head Teacher at Greenfields, I am now ready to raise the standard of what we deliver to your children -across every subject and throughout the school year.

I know that many of you have been content with what we produce; if you have ever attended Graduation during our end-of-year Gala Weekend, you will know that our graduates are normally outstanding and very thankful for having had the Greenfields Experience to launch their lives, and visiting parents are usually overjoyed with what their children and others have accomplished. I also receive many letters and words of thanks throughout the year for what we do.

But, in today’s world, I feel that it is both our job and our moral duty to do better for our students.

With this in mind, I am lauching a major new initiative in the school to raise our academic and social standards. This will involve several key elements, some drawn from the best practice of other independent schools, and some designed around our own Study Technology. We will aim, through this, to achieve a dramatic improvement in the standard of our products: better educated children.

There will be a concentration on the quantity and quality of what is being taught in every subject.

Our services will be more closely monitored and directed to ensure that students who really need help are getting it.

You will begin to hear more from class tutors, teachers, other staff, and me.

Raising our standards across all subjects and through every week of the school year will present a more challenging environment for students -but they will receive any assistance that they need and we have the wonderful Study Technology to help them too. Then there is really no limit to what they will be able to achieve, for themselves, for each other -and for the world.

That’s the new battle cry here at Greenfields: raise the standard!

You’re welcome to give me whatever feedback you wish!
