"Welcoming and inclusive"

We've only recently joined the Greenshaw community, but we've been made to feel so welcome. The staff are friendly and approachable, and the values of the school really shine through. My daughter is loving her first year and we're excited to see her grow and thrive here.

"A good school with room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Greenshaw. The teachers are generally excellent and the curriculum is rich and varied. However, we've found the sixth form to be a bit disjointed and lacking in clear guidance at times. With some tweaks, I think Greenshaw could be an even better school.

"Exceptional teachers and curriculum"

Our daughter graduated from Greenshaw a few years ago and we were blown away by the quality of teaching and the depth of the curriculum. She's now thriving at university and we're so grateful for the foundations she gained at Greenshaw. Keep up the fantastic work!

"Depressing"

Greenshaw High School are pretty incompetent. Often messages that students or parents need won't be communicated or are unclear. It's also a pretty unsafe environment, speaking from experience, despite lectures about inclusion, it's still a place full of discrimination, especially homophobia and ableism. People who perpetuate these kind of things often go unpunished and victims are expected to just live with it.You need a pass to be able to use the gender neutral toilets at break and lunch, which is the only time you're able to use the toilets at all. This isn't required for any of the other toilets. Girls/female presenting people have been told that their skirts are too short which is " unfair on the boys". This is clearly a problem that should be adressed with the boys and the fact that teachers think teenager's bodies are sexual is showing. The school claims to care about it's student's mental health but the systems put in place like 'the junction' are ineffective and pretty condescending. You'd be better off looking for mental health support outside of school. Overall, it's a pretty depressing school to be at that seems to take one step forward and one step back in terms of inclusion.
