Greatham Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 March 2025

Pupils excel in this highly aspirational and inclusive community. They truly embody the school's values of 'care, aspire and achieve'. This ensures that pupils learn in an environment where they thrive and flourish. Each morning, pupils greet each other with a big smile. They are excited to see their friends and staff. Friendship, enthusiasm and happiness permeate across all aspects of school life. This helps pupils feel safe. The school has exceptionally high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils understand and rise to these expectations superbly. Children in early years are extremely positive, curious and confident explorers of the world around them. Pupils immerse themselves wholeheartedly in their learning and achieve highly. Pupils' behaviour throughout the school is exemplary. They are extremely proud to take on positions of responsibility, such as play leaders, junior road safety officers or as members of 'young governance'. The school provides a range of clubs for pupils to develop their interests and discover new things. There is something for everyone. Parents and carers almost unanimously support the school. One parent, reflected the views of many when saying, 'Greatham School is a fantastic community, and its nurturing ethos shines through.'
