About the School

Greenways is a place of learning and friendship, where everyone shares a sense of common purpose. We provide a happy and nurturing environment so that as well as maturing into well-rounded, healthy young people, our children develop a passion for learning. Greenways is the largest primary school in Southend, with 4 forms of entry, and is a school at the heart of its community. Our core values of: Respect; Nurture; Inspire and Aspire, are what it means to be part of Greenways.

Developing the whole child is of paramount importance to us, and we work hard to ensure that our children are not only successful learners but also responsible citizens. Our curriculum continues to evolve, but at its heart is a commitment to providing a range of opportunities and inspirational experiences for all learners. This is complimented by a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, inspiring school visits and residential experiences which build pupils’ character, help them to become more resilient and develop communication and collaboration skills.

Greenways is a part of the Learning in Harmony Trust (LiHT), which was founded with two Newham schools in 2014 and has since grown to nine schools across London and Essex. The Trust was founded on the principle of working in harmony to achieve excellence for all.
