"Good but Room for Improvement"

We've had mixed experiences at Greenside School so far. On the positive side, the staff are friendly and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. However, I feel that the communication between teachers and parents could be better. Additionally, I've noticed that the school can be a bit disorganized at times. Hopefully, they'll address these issues soon.

"Friendly and Caring Community"

Greenside School has a wonderful community that feels like a second family to us. The teachers are all very supportive and take the time to understand each child's needs. My child loves the 'My Story' program and the signing videos they use to aid communication. We're so grateful to be a part of the Greenside family!

"Excellent Transition Support"

My child attended Greenside School for several years, and I was impressed by the excellent transition support they provided. Their 'Preparing for Adulthood' pathway really helped prepare them for the next stage of their life. I highly recommend Greenside School to any families seeking a supportive and inclusive environment.
