About the school

Greenbank High School is an all-girls 11-16 secondary school located in Southport, Merseyside. As the top-performing school in Sefton for several years, we are proud of our achievements. We first earned the NACE Award in 2015 and were re-accredited in 2018 and 2022. Our goal is to become an ambassador school by 2026.
  
We are determined to inspire our students through learning both inside and outside the classroom, care for individual pastoral needs and achieve the highest academic standards. We believe in a high-quality curriculum, excellent standards of behaviour and a positive learning environment so that students of all abilities and backgrounds can succeed and reach their potential.
  
We are very proud of the school, its students, staff, and governors. Education at Greenbank provides much more than exam excellence. It aims to develop and nurture all students to take their place as caring and confident young people in the outside world.
  
Greenbank was the founding member of Southport Learning Trust, a growing family of successful schools. As part of the trust, we benefit from the high-quality collaboration, innovation, and a sense of being part of a wider community that works together to achieve the highest outcomes for all.

 
Who should attend?

This opportunity is aimed at school leaders, challenge/more able coordinators and others leading on provision for more able learners and high attainment in a school or group of schools. It is open to leaders and practitioners from all phases, sectors and stages of development in provision for more able learners – including schools with no previous experience of the NACE Challenge Framework, as well as those already using the Framework and/or holding the NACE Challenge Award.
