Greenside Ethos and Vision
We aim to Inspire, Challenge and Nurture in all we do
GREENSIDE FILM FACTORY
Our Vision and Ethos
Our vision at Greenside is for every student to achieve that little bit more than thought possible and our expectations are high!
We believe that ‘Learning is Everything and Everything is Learning!’ and so every Learning Experience is designed to ensure that we ‘Break Boundaries’ and challenge our students to be Leaders.
Our aim is to support all students to be ‘World Ready and Test Ready through the Arts’.
We want all of our students and staff to be inspired to be learners and leaders.
We place SMSC (social, moral, spiritual and cultural) experiences at the heart of everything we do and we expect our students to be kind, reflective people and curious, creative learners – exploring ‘big questions’ and making the world a better place.
Greenside is a place of fun and excitement, a place to be inspired and to be fearless!
Our Experiential Learning Model is built on strong educational and pedagogical research and it is premised on the vision and ethos outlined above.
We are proud to be part of Greenside, GGL (Greenside, Griffin and Lena Gardens) and The Elliot Foundation.
We are proud of our diversity and to be London, British and World Citizens.

This year, as well as challenging our academic Test Ready learning we are really ‘going places’ with the Food Experience & our Nature learning as part of our World Ready programme. We have launched a year long whole school STEAM project to regenerate the soil in our garden in a quest to grow the most nutritionally rich and flavorsome produce we can. Through this project all of our students will develop their scientific knowledge and deepen their understanding of factors affecting our environment, as well as being hands on with growing the veg in our garden which we use in the kitchen.
We have a new look menu for the Autumn Term that showcases delicious, seasonal products that have been sourced from producers who share our philosophy about caring for the soil. This term we are proud to share with you a new website dedicated to everything we do with food and nature here at Greenside: https://www.
