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.[2]

In 2015, the school expanded following the closure of another local school Sunnydale Comprehensive in nearby Shildon. The school now serves both towns.

Greenfield's uniform consists of a 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.

A SENCO team are also within the school dealing with children with additional needs. The school also has adaptations within the site for pupils with disabilities.
