Greenfield provides a range of opportunities in and out of the classroom. The strength of the provision was noted by OFSTED, who rated the school as Requires Improvement in May 2017 and again in September 2019.
In 2015, the school expanded following the closure of another local school Sunnydale Comprehensive in nearby
Shildon. The school now operates in both towns. This is achieved by the movement of both staff and students. Year 10 and 11 attend most of their lessons in Newton Aycliffe.
Greenfield's uniform consists of tie; white shirt; blazer; dress, trousers or skirt and smart black shoes. Jumpers are optional. The P.E kit is a green t-shirt with the school logo which is to be worn with either black shorts or leggings and trainers with white soles. No branded clothing is allowed. Blazers are to be worn all year round. With request, students can remove their blazer for lessons but it must at all other times.
The previous colour system of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple was replaced with a new system renaming them Mountain, River, Forest and Lake. Each of these all have separate sub groups which are used for T4S (Time 4 Success/tutor group)
