Greenfields strongly encourages and supports interest and proficiency in the Arts. Music, Dance, Art and Drama are taught from an early age and throughout the student's time here.
Greenfields graduates have gone on to Further Education and professional careers in art, music, dance, drama, TV and theatre.
Art
We consider art to be an essential life skill attainable by all students and it is taught as such. A custom-built Art classroom with balcony and facilities provides a bright and airy atmosphere for artistic development. Local artists who are specialists in their own field are encouraged to give workshops.
Any student with an aptitude in music is encouraged both in the class music lessons and with individual tuition. Also very popular with our students is the Sussex Rock School where local professional musicians give individual tuition. Students often form up into bands or groups during the year. There are regular opportunities to perform locally at several events, and performers usually take part in the East Grinstead Music and Arts Festival and other area activities.

In the Infant and Junior schools all children may participate in dance lessons as part of their physical and aesthetic development. After that, extra-curricular dance lessons in Classical Ballet, Jazz, Modern and Tap are offered to all Infant, Junior and Senior students.
Dancers study the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance syllabus and are entered for examinations if they wish. As well as performing in many school productions, students have the opportunity to dance in local theatrical productions and also choreograph their own dances. They also perform in Greenfields Choreographic Concert performed bi-annually in a local theatre.
