Greenshaw High School is a coeducational academy of some 1600 pupils [2] situated in Sutton, England.
The school was opened in the late 1960s as a purpose built Comprehensive School. The first Headmaster was Mr R B Whellock. Notable former pupils include Olympic gymnast Barry Winch, who represented Great Britain at two Summer Olympics, Derby County footballer Steve Spooner, 100 meter sprinter Harry Aikines-Aryeetey who medalled as part of 4x100 teams in both the Commonwealth Games and European Championships, Sam Ardley who appeared as 50 Pence in the first and second series of M I High, Tayler Marshall who played Kenzo in the TV series My Family, Bradley McIntosh of the group S Club 7 and film director Jack Spring, who became the UK's youngest film director by directing Destination: Dewsbury in 2016. However students in the school have come to hate it because of the disrespect given to them by the teachers and staff. It is sad to say that yet another school fails to fully educate their children and keep them and their mental health safe.
Greenshaw became an academy on 1 June 2011. In October 2014 it was reconstituted as a multi academy trust under the name 'Greenshaw Learning Trust'. It also has a sixth form for students aged 16 to 18. In 2008, students in the Greenshaw Sixth Form achieved results in the top 25% of schools nationally.[3] It has been awarded the Arts Council Silver award, Associate Training School, Investor in People and Healthy School awards.
The school is rated 'Good' by Ofsted.[4]
