What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 November 2023

Green Lane Primary Academy achieves its stated ambition to 'provide the children with the highest standards of teaching, learning and pastoral care'. Leaders have very high expectations for all pupils, both academically and socially. Pupils flourish in this inspirational school. They have excellent recall of their learning. The school prepares pupils very well for their next stage in education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils learn how to make positive choices and take responsibility for their actions. Pupils are kind and considerate to one another. They feel safe and happy in school. Pupils know that adults listen to them and help them. Pupils also learn how to resolve any minor concerns themselves. Leaders provide a wealth of enrichment activities. There are many school clubs to promote pupils' talents and new interests. Pupils learn a range of skills, from knitting to climbing. Trust-wide opportunities include sports festivals, computing events and debates about current affairs. The early years environment is a vibrant and dynamic place to be. Staff are excellent role models. They continually engage the children in their learning. Children eagerly learn a nursery rhyme a week and take delight in acting these out.
