Further south is Greatham Primary School, which caters for around 200 pupils from the village and surrounding areas.

The village hall is adjacent to the recreation area, which contains a football field, and two playgrounds, catering for young and old children.

The village hall and adjacent playing field are the venues for many of the events organised by the Greatham Village Events Committee (GVEC), including the annual fun day, summer ball and the bonfire/fireworks party.

Adjacent to the Old Church is a manor house, which is occupied by the L'Abri Fellowship, a Christian group.

The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Greteham, and later appears in written sources as Grietham in 1167 and as Grutam in 1236.
