Events
At Greenways we always offer a range of events for parents, pupils and the wider community with support from the PTFA.
Below you will find links to our Events Calendar which we update regularly and include as many pre-planned events as possible to keep parents informed.
If you have any questions about a scheduled event, please contact the main office.
PTFA
Thank you to the PTFA who donated some of their raised funds to buy us some brand new library books. They are great and our year 3 children in particular were excited to see the new selection.
Sports Success
We were incredibly proud to take our first ever girls football team to compete against other Stoke schools at the Power League. The team held their own against experienced teams and represented us positively. Well done girls!
The year 5 & 6 football team represented Greenways in the Power League competition against 28 other schools from across Stoke. After three convincing group stage wins without conceding a goal, we progressed to the semi-finals before narrowly losing a well contested games.
A big well done to these players for being resilient and working together as a team!
Cross Country success at Greenways!
a big well done to all KS2 children who took part in a wet and muddy cross country event at Endon High School. It was great to see so many of you take part and Jack and Isaac brought home medals in their races! Well done everyone!
Harvest Time Is Here Again! - Civic Duty
As part of our Civic Duty, this year we have again carried out our annual harvest basket donation to local elderly residents in the Greenways community. A big thank you to EYFS parents for donating the beautiful baskets and to the Student Senate for braving the rain to distribute them to residents. One reached 92 year old Mrs Lewis who was deeply grateful for the gesture.
WAT COP - Sustainability
Our Student Senate children were excited to attend their first WAT event where they spent the day taking part in workshops all about sustainability and leaving the world a better place for all. Miss Law and Mr Peake were so proud of how all children engaged with the workshops and met new friends in Windsor Academy Trust.
Future Author Harry
We know how imaginative and creative our children are at Greenways, but Harry in year 5 took his talents a step further and had a short story published in the 'Six Towns Stories' book! Harry entered the competition to see if he would be successful and I think the smile reflects how how proud he is to have his work published for all to see. Well done!
Remembrance Service - Civic Duty
Again this year we have marked Remembrance Day by attending a special service at our local cemetery to remember those who fought for us many, many years ago. Along with other local schools, our children read a poem before laying a wreath in the memorial gardens. We are incredibly proud of how respectful our children were and represented Greenways so well. Well done everyone!
Book donation from Burslem Rotary Club
A special thank you to the member of Burslem Rotary Club who kindly donated books for our children to enjoy free of charge. Books were offered at our annual PTFA Christmas Enterprise Fair so children took books home to enjoy over the Christmas holidays. Click here to see our Enterprise Fair video.
Key Stage One Multi Skills Festival
Thank you to Excel Academy for inviting our KS1 children to their Muti-Skills Festival. As you can see, the children absolutely loved taking part in a range of fun, sporting activities
World Book Day Celebrations
Once again, World Book Day was a big success with children coming to school either dressed as a their favourite book character or in their comfy clothes. We enjoyed a selection of stories from teachers and friends during the day and took part on a book swop.
Easter Service 2024
A special well done to year 3 who delivered a wonderful Easter Service for parents this year. The children did a wonderful job at sharing the important messages behind Easter as well as the sweet treats that we enjoy too. Well done Year 3!
Key Stage Two Dance Show
This years dance routine to 'The School of Rock' blew us all away as our talented KS2 dancers took to the stage at The Victoria Hall to perform with around 15 other schools from Stoke-on-Trent. The dancers performed with confidence and demonstrated our school values through their performance. Thank you to ASM Sports for supporting the show and preparing the group so well.
Autism Awareness Day
To celebrate and raise awareness of Autism, the PTFA supported us by hosting a bubble run. All children loved the event and in-class learning raised awareness of how we are all different and unique.
Kelvin Batey - Olympic BMX rider
As part of our WAT pledge, we always aim for the children to meet a famous person during their time at Greenways. Therefore, we were incredibly lucky to have Kelvin Batey come in and speak to all of our children about his journey into BMX biking and the successes he has had. All classes took part in a workshop too and even got his autograph!
Year 3 & 4 Girls Football
It was a privilege to see our Y3 and 4 girls football team play a friendly against another local primary school on home ground. This was the girls first time playing against a different team and they did extremely well, not only representing Greenways but working as a team to succeed. Well done girls!
Year 5 & 6 Girls Football
To have two girls football teams is amazing, so when our Y5 & 6 girls team took to the pitch there was plenty of support and cheering from the sidelines. The girls did a great job against other schools and came back with big smiles and feeling proud of their achievements. Well done girls!
WAT a Run!
The WAT a Run for staff and WAT a Fun Run! for Greenways pupils was a huge success this year. With 9 Greenways staff taking part in the staff event and over 100 pupils taking part in the fun run, as a school we raised £430 for the WAT Bed & Breakfast Campaign with supports children and young people in our family of schools to have a bed to sleep in and breakfast each morning. The sun shone as the PTFA hosted the fun run and brought the community together. All children received a special sustainable medal and the adults even got a WAT one too. Well done everyone.
Year 6 London Visit
At a post SATs treat and as part of our WAT pledge to take all of our children to the capital city and to see a live show, this year our year 6's were the first to experience this special promise. First, a workshop in the famous Pineapple Dance Studio got everyone in the mood for what was to come. Chico, who used to perform in The Lion King production, led the workshop where the class learnt dance routines which were in the show and got to perform as a class to The Circle of Life.
Following the workshop, the class enjoyed The Lion King at The Lyceum Theatre and were wowed by the wonderful staging, costumes and production as a whole. A special thank you to WAT for arranging the day; it truly was memorable.
Thank you Baddeley Green & Stockton Brook Community Fund.
Following an application for SEND resources to support our youngest children, we were very lucky to receive £1,900 from the Baddeley Green and Stockton Brook Community Fund this year. Our Head Boy, Head Girl and deputies attended the presentation evening to receive the grant on behalf of the school and represented us perfectly.
PTFA Summer Fair 2024
This years PTFA summer fair was another huge success! Our small group of parents go above and beyond to support the school and run events which raise funds for school projects and all money goes back to the children in some form or another. This year's fair raised just over £4,500 which is absolutely brilliant and all of the community had fun in the process. Support from local businesses enabled our raffle to be the best yet and small business vendors attended to offer their range of products too. It truly was a community event to be proud of.
Northwood Athletics
We are extremely proud of the children who were chosen to represent Greenways at this years Northwood Athletics competition. 38 children wore their Greenways kit with pride and competed in a variety of track races against 12 other local schools. Although we narrowly missed out on a podium position, the children delivered a strong team performance and the boys relay team brought home the relay trophy! Well done everyone!
