Teach: inspire children to learn
Teach in Greenwich and you can take advantage of everything a world city like London has to offer – yet still find green space and many different leisure pursuits right on your doorstep.
Tackling inequality
In common with any city, Greenwich faces significant challenges. Tackling inequality is a top priority in education as well as in the wider community.
Our schools value and celebrate diversity. We are working with schools to ensure they are led in a way that children enjoy and achieve and reach their fullest potential in a secure, happy and challenging environment.
Successful regeneration, neighbourhood renewal and improving service performance - including raising levels of attainment - are creating the best opportunities for young people in the borough.
Transport connections
Greenwich has great transport connections. Central London is just a short journey away and is accessible by London Underground, train, Docklands Light Railway (DLR), or bus.
East London is just across the river – cars can use the Blackwall Tunnel or the Woolwich Ferry, which also takes foot passengers.
One of the two foot tunnels is next to the ferry – the other is in Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich. London City Airport is just across the River Thames.
Greenwich also boasts many green, leafy open spaces to enjoy.
