I am delighted to welcome you to Greenfield E-ACT Academy. A happy and vibrant school located in the heart of Knowle, Bristol. We believe that every child should feel a sense of belonging to our school community and enjoy their learning. To achieve this, we work in close collaboration with our families.

It is our aim that all our children should become confident and resilient young people, assured in their strengths, and prepared to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing future. To achieve this we offer an academic curriculum that strives to expose all pupils to the richness of education, allowing them to experience a diversity of subjects during their time with us. This exposure allows individuals to discover their passions setting them on a path to future learning and life beyond education.

Alongside academic endeavours we strongly promote characteristics such as respect, integrity, perseverance and consideration-necessary life skills that allow our pupils to continue to flourish whatever challenges life may bring to their door. We achieve this through a strong programme of extra-curricular activities including, but not limited to, sailing, Forest Schools, sports clubs, team competitions and the arts.

Greenfield E-ACT is a proud member of the successful E-ACT network of schools. A UK leading Trust that gives us access to outstanding support and guidance and a sense of collective belonging as our schools regularly come together to share practise and celebrate events.

What it means to be part of E-ACT

As an E-ACT academy we share ideas with other academies in the trust in ways other schools may not be able to. Our pupils and staff also feel part of something much bigger.

E-ACT academies also have support from people across the trust who help us to make things even better for our children.

An E-ACT Academy in Birmingham, E-ACT Heartlands Academy, was ranked one of the best secondary schools in the country and was named School of the Year at the Times Educational Supplement schools awards in 2020.

Think big, show team spirit, do the right thing

We believe that young people should never be held back from achieving great things.

By encouraging them to think big and believe that anything is possible, by showing them the importance of team spirit and by supporting them to carefully think through decisions to do the right thing, we know that every one of our pupils can realise their full potential.

At E-ACT, we have an excellent network of support and educational expertise across our 28 academies to deliver the very best education to our pupils. We have 2,500 colleagues who each play a vital role in educating our 18,000 pupils.
