  • It Has Been Another Busy Week at Greenbank As You Can See in the Newsletter
    GHS News Edition 2: 18th September 2017 It has been another busy week at Greenbank as you can see in the newsletter. I am delighted that over 100 pupils have signed up to be Open Evening guides. The girls will need to be in school from 5.30pm in full school uniform including blazer badges as parents often arrive early. New guides are welcome and can sign up on Monday via a letter available at reception. The evening is an excellent opportunity to open our doors to the community and celebrate life at Greenbank. It was fantastic to see after school clubs start last week with high numbers attending. The timetable for PE and Music clubs was in my last newsletter. Dance, Drama and Let’s Get Cooking Club now have over 100 pupils signed up! Please ask your daughter to ensure she says thank you to the member of staff delivering the club after school. During assemblies last week Mrs Russell outlined our Behaviour for Learning Policy which is summarised in the Student Planner. Our aim is to ensure girls are fully aware of the routines in school, rewards which apply to the vast majority and sanctions which apply to very few. Wandering around school last week I was impressed with the impeccable behaviour and learning taking place in all areas. As you will see below there are major roadworks starting on Lord Street which may disrupt your daughter’s travel to and from school. If you bring your daughter to school by car, please drop her off on Waterloo Road and not Hastings Road so they can ‘park and stride.’ We ask parents not to drive into the school grounds or attempt a three point turn before the barriers, as this is potentially very dangerous for our pupils and staff alike.
