What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Greenfield E-ACT Primary Academy provides a haven where all pupils can blossom. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. Because the school is highly inclusive, all pupils feel they belong. Leaders are relentless in their drive to ensure every pupil is successful. The 'no-excuses' culture sets high standards for learning and behaviour. Pupils rise to this challenge, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Consequently, all pupils achieve well. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary because staff establish routines from day one. Pupils are eager, independent learners. If they find a task difficult, they persevere. For example, pupils try to work things out for themselves before asking for help. This is because they have access to resources that help them learn effectively. Pupils are safe in school. They know how to report any worries or concerns. Pupils know what healthy relationships are. They understand and show the qualities of being a good friend. The school is a beacon of support for the community. Pupils are at the heart of all decision-making by the school and the trust. Families value the nurture and care their children receive.

What the school should improve

  • Pupils are not acquiring the knowledge they need in a few subjects. This is because clear links are not made between new knowledge and that which has been learned previously. As a result, pupils do not routinely remember and connect prior learning as effectively as they might. The school should ensure that teaching helps pupils to connect knowledge and build a secure understanding of what they learn.
