Greenfields School and Sports College educates secondary-age students with profound, severe and complex learning needs. Many students have additional medical needs. Most students are White British. There are a few students from minority ethnic groups. All students have a statement of special educational needs. The proportion of students receiving pupil premium is low. The pupil premium is additional funding for students who are looked after by the local authority or who are known to be eligible for free school meals. The school does not use any form of alternative provision. Through consortium arrangements, sixth form students access learning across a group of Northamptonshire special schools. Options including catering, horticulture, business studies, and hair and beauty. The school provides Augmentative and Alternative Communication advice and support for children on behalf of the local authority. The headteacher and deputy headteacher were appointed in 2012 after a short period of being the acting senior leadership team. The school has consulted stakeholders with a view to becoming an academy during the next school year.
