What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils feel safe and happy at this highly inclusive school. Leaders and staff are ambitious for their pupils and set the highest of expectations. All pupils are well supported to achieve these and, as a result, they thrive. They know that adults will listen to any concerns that they have and will help them in any way that they can. Pupils value this support, as do their families. The school is a harmonious place to learn where pupils get on well together. Pupils look after each other and behave well. They follow the school rules and are 'respectful, honest, polite and kind'. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They are confident that, if it did happen, staff would deal with it immediately. Throughout all aspects of school life, the school promotes their 'five curriculum drivers'. These are the things that they value most. This places a strong focus on community, resilience, creativity, aspiration and diversity. As a result, pupils' attitudes towards, and experience of, these are extremely positive. Pupils benefit from representing their school in sports and community events. They say that they are proud and happy to represent Greenside Primary as it is a 'great place to go to school'.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils are not able to recall some of the key knowledge that is identified within the school's curriculum. As a result, they do not build on prior learning as effectively as they could. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment to check on, and embed, prior learning, so that pupils use their learned knowledge and skills fluently.
- There is some variability in how well phonics is taught. This means that some pupils are not developing their phonics knowledge and understanding as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that all staff have the confidence and skills to deliver the school's phonics programme fully effectively.
