In Greenfields' Infant classes the children build on the foundations laid in the reception class. It is here that reading and writing really start to take off and the children move rapidly through the reading scheme books.

They are given many opportunities to write and take pride in presenting a neat piece of work. Maths is taught traditionally with emphasis on knowing and understanding basic arithmetic.

The more academic lessons are held in the mornings while the children are freshest and the afternoons are used for sport and projects. The teacher selects topics which will interest the children and which can be used as a springboard for art, craft and drama as well as an opportunity to practise the academic skills learned in the mornings.
