Description
Greenfields is an Independent Day and Boarding school for children aged 2 to 18.

Students aged 2 to 18 receive an all-round education for life, using the Cambridge Curriculum from Infants upwards.
Greenfields utilises a unique study method which ensures children can apply what they learn for use in life - not just to pass examinations. It has a strong moral code and zero tolerance on bullying, drugs and alcohol.
Fees start from £59 a week. Situated in beautiful grounds, with its adventure playground backing into the Ashdown Forest itself, the school is a safe and inspirational place to learn
The main difference between Greenfields and other schools is the unique teaching method it uses. This method (Study Technology) isolates the barriers preventing or hindering a child from learning and then provides precise tools to deal with them. Its use allows any child of any ability to learn anything – even those who have been labelled ‘dyslexic’. The school also applies a strong moral code (THE WAY TO HAPPINESS Booklet) ensuring happy students, no bullying, no drugs and successful graduates.
In July 2012 Greenfields announced a radical new fees scheme which makes private schooling available for as little as £57 per week.
Trains take 50 minutes from London to East Grinstead, which is a ten minute car ride from the school. Gatwick Airport is a twenty minute car ride away. Brighton (on the coast is 30 minutes away.
