At Crown Wood, we know every child is unique; with their own strengths and interests. We offer many opportunities for children to discover and develop their personal, social, moral and spiritual identities.

We aim to provide a safe and stimulating learning environment which encourages pupils to grow and develop in an atmosphere of mutual respect. We believe that education is a shared partnership between children, parents and teachers; by working together we can achieve a great deal more. We encourage parents and carers to become fully involved in their child’s learning and also in the life of the school.

Five Acres High School is very happy to be part of the Greenshaw family.
