The Curriculum
Greene’s is a specialist college in UK education – especially GCSE & A levels first time and retake – offering a unique blend of high-quality, individual, and small group tuition.
Games & The Arts
Alongside a variety of enriching clubs, including the student social committee, debating, and wellbeing, students can also attend the Oxford Union. Previous speakers include Morgan Freeman and Sir Ian McKellen.
Pastoral Care
Greene’s’ leadership programme offers group seminars in a range of academic and extra-curricular topics to provide students with insight into areas that they otherwise might not have explored. The course seeks to diversify the subjects included in the academic provision at the college – and to ensure that students are challenged, collaboratively and continually, by new and exciting ideas and prospects.
University Places
70 percent of students enter G5 and Russell Group universities.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
At Greene’s, our philosophy is based on one simple assumption: if a student’s education is tailored to their unique qualities and needs, they are more likely to be successful. Our approach to education is based on the tutorial method, fostering self-confidence and independence to prepare students for high-ranking universities.
Outstanding Characteristics
Greene’s style of learning is defined by one-to-one tuition, taught in the Socratic method, with an emphasis on independent study. It allows staff to support students with cultivating critical thinking and independent learning skills. These skills will prepare students for the transition from A levels to university life.
