Welcome to The Green Flying High Academy

The best for every child, every day.

We are delighted to be able to share with you our vision for education to help you get a true flavour of our school.

We believe that every child deserves the best, every day and at The Green, we strive to provide our children with fantastic  opportunities to expand their horizons and develop into confident individuals, lifelong learners and global citizens.

We believe that all pupils have the ability and the right to be able to achieve wonderful things.

Our aim is to ensure that our children are happy, safe and enjoy their time at school. This is achieved by providing an environment where children feel safe to explore the new challenges and learning opportunities they encounter. 

All our staff are passionate about making children happy, developing their confidence and inspiring them to be successful. We want all of our children to be caring, kind, thoughtful and considerate towards others and feel confident to make relationships. 

Our School also offers:

• Breakfast Club – We also have a fantastic wraparound care to support those families requiring provision outside school hours. We run a breakfast club on site from 7.30am. After school, we link with JPAC, who provide after school care at The Glebe Junior School. 
• After school clubs including Sports, Music and many more.

Flying High Partnership

The Flying High Trust is a partnership of schools across Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City and Derbyshire. Schools work together to ensure we are relentless in ensuring our children receive the best possible opportunities and experiences. This is achieved through a true collaboration where all decisions centre on children and schools are empowered to adopt best practice, adapt it within the context of each school and fly!
