What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Pupils love all aspects of Green Lane Primary School. They feel happy and safe. They enjoy their lessons and the weekly active enrichment activities like bike riding, climbing, and caving. They say they feel very lucky to come to this school every day. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and caring. Staff know the pupils well and take good care of them. The school is welcoming to all pupils and their families. Difference and diversity are celebrated. The school aspires for all pupils to achieve well. Effective improvements to the curriculum are having a positive impact. However, this is not yet reflected in the provisional key stage 2 published results from national assessments. The school encourages all pupils to try their best. 'Powerful learners' are celebrated at weekly assemblies. A high proportion of pupils arrive throughout the year. Many speak English as an additional language. The school takes time to get to know all pupils on their arrival. This means pupils receive the correct adaptations to support their understanding of English and provide for any additional needs. Pupils' behaviour is good. They conduct themselves well in lessons and at social times. Pupils know to share any worries or concerns with a trusted adult. Starting in the early years, pupils quickly learn the school routines and expectations.

What the school should improve

  • In some areas of the curriculum, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not consistently identified. This means pupils' knowledge builds less securely over time. The school should develop an effective approach to ensure gaps in pupils' knowledge are consistently identified.
