What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils love coming to Greenfields Community School. It is a welcoming and inclusive place where pupils say they are 'heard and seen'. The school has a deep ethos of care for everyone it serves. Parents and carers confirm this. The school is aspirational for all of its pupils. Many pupils achieve well, particularly in the core subjects of English and mathematics. They study a wide range of interesting topics and read books that enthuse them to learn new and ambitious vocabulary. Pupils enjoy the enriching experiences that the school provides. These include residential trips, visiting experts and learning outdoors. Links to a university raise pupils' aspirations. Pupils appreciate the many musical and sporting opportunities. These activities help to nurture their interests and talents. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils understand and follow the school's aims to 'Be kind, Be curious, Be your best'. They behave well in lessons. At social times, they play together happily. Pupils are proud to make their own contribution to the school. For instance, some are conscientious members of the eco-team, while others are playtime buddies. Pupils say that they feel safe at school. They trust staff to help them if they have any worries.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum does not identify closely enough the important knowledge pupils need to know and remember. It does not always make clear the sequence for building knowledge over time. As a result, learning does not always help pupils to gain a deeper understanding in these subjects. The school should identify exactly what pupils need to learn, and when, to ensure that learning focuses sharply on this so pupils achieve well in all subjects.
- The school's approaches to checking pupils' knowledge are not well established in foundation subjects. Consequently, teachers do not consistently identify gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that checks of what pupils know in the foundation subjects are effective and that this information is used to inform what pupils need to learn next.
