What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
This is a caring, nurturing and happy school. Pupils feel safe here. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well. Pupils follow the school's vision of 'Learning and thriving together to achieve our dreams'. Since the last inspection, the school has made some significant changes. It has raised its expectations of pupils' achievement and behaviour. As a result, these expectations are now more consistently realised. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are friendly and polite. Pupils behave well and have positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils proudly demonstrate the 'Greatfield Park Way' such as 'smart sitting' and 'marvellous manners'. The school provides exciting opportunities for pupils to try new things and learn different skills. For example, pupils try caving and rock climbing on 'I Can Do It' days. Pupils join clubs such as netball, mindfulness and choir. Older pupils enjoy showcasing their singing talents when they perform at a national arena. The school works closely with families and knows them well. Pastoral provision is high quality. It has a demonstrable impact on pupils' self-esteem, confidence and behaviour. Most parents are happy with the school. Several parents comment that staff help their children to thrive.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, the school is in the early stages of implementing its more ambitious curriculum. As a result, in these subjects, pupils have gaps in their learning and have not yet secured the deep knowledge the school expects them to. The school must fully embed the new curriculum effectively so pupils gain the knowledge and skills they need for future learning.
- The school's actions to improve attendance have not yet reduced absence successfully for all pupils. As a result, the attendance of some pupils, including pupils with SEND, is too low. This means that these pupils miss out on essential learning. The school should further strengthen its work to improve attendance so that all pupils attend highly to benefit from the school's provision.
