We believe that all students can succeed if given outstanding teaching and pastoral care.

The Greenwich Free School will be a smaller, more personal school, with no more than 100 students in each year group. This means teachers will get to know every student as an individual and be able to closely nurture and challenge them all.

We will demand a lot, setting high standards for students and staff, with a 'no excuses' approach to attitude, work and discipline. We also recognise the importance of students' wellbeing – building their characters and skills, and developing young people who will truly flourish. We will have a longer school day, a wide range of daily extra-curricular activities and a more personalised curriculum for our students. Crucially, our teachers will be given the time, training and management support to be truly outstanding.

The curriculum will focus on depth before breadth. Our priority will be to ensure every student masters the most important subjects and skills – particularly English and Maths – as a base for further study and the world of work. Our objective is to develop students who are happy at school and committed to doing the best they can. We want all our students to be able to get to university and succeed there.

Life in the Greenwich Free School will be hard work, but it will also be truly engaging, exciting and fun. It will be a school to be proud of – and we will be proud of our students.
