Greek Secondary School of London

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 September 2025

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They form close bonds with each other in this small and caring community. The school's atmosphere is calm and focused on learning. Pupils are polite, respectful and treat each other well. They attend regularly and behave well in lessons and around the school. They feel safe here. There is always somebody available to help, which pupils appreciate. The school has high expectations of pupils' achievement. Teachers work effectively to ensure pupils learn the curriculum and gain the qualifications that they need to take their next steps. This includes sixth-form students, who typically proceed successfully to study at university. The broad curriculum is enhanced by regular assemblies, workshops, trips, and events. These help to build pupils' knowledge, skills, and cultural awareness beyond the classroom. Pupils especially enjoyed recent local trips in London to museums, art galleries and London Zoo, and residential trips to Italy and Spain. Pupils articulate and debate their different views confidently and respectfully in personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education lessons. As a result, they develop empathy and tolerance, and the ability to make informed decisions. Pupils are well prepared to recognise and respect both British and Greek values.

What the school should improve

• Leaders have not made sure that some of the required information, such as that relating to fire safety, is well organised. There are no consistent arrangements in place to check the work of leaders, and to provide support. This limits leaders' ability to identify risks promptly and to ensure and be able to evidence compliance with all the independent school standards. The proprietor needs to ensure that leaders have the necessary knowledge to meet the requirements of all the independent school standards consistently. The proprietor should also realise their current plans to put in place a form of governance to provide leaders with ongoing support, challenge, and guidance.
