What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Greensted is a happy and friendly school. A typical comment from a pupil is, 'It is really nice at Greensted. New people are always welcome here and treated with kindness.' The school has high expectations for pupils' achievements. Pupils rise well to these. Their successes are celebrated and rewarded. Pupils appreciate gaining house points and receiving certificates and 'golden tickets' in celebration assemblies. They respond with enthusiasm to their 'quest books', providing challenges from Reception to Year 6 as they journey through the school. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional. They embrace the school's golden rules of success, kindness and honesty. Pupils have positive relationships with each other and with staff. In early years, children are happy, confident and achieve well. Bullying is rare, and pupils feel that if it did happen it would be addressed swiftly. This means that pupils feel safe. Pupils like how the school has joined the infants and juniors together and that all children have a voice in the school. Older pupils are excellent role models for younger children. They enjoy leadership and ambassadorial roles such as the Year 6 'Blazer Squad' and being members of the 'school parliament'.
What the school should improve
- The knowledge that pupils should learn and remember is not precisely defined in some subjects. This means that pupils are not always able to build on previous learning and deepen their understanding. The school should ensure that the important knowledge that pupils should learn from the early years to Year 6 has been identified precisely in each subject.
- Assessments do not always link accurately to what pupils have been learning. This means that gaps and misconceptions are not always identified in some subjects and that teachers cannot check what pupils have learned, understood and remembered. Pupils are therefore not achieving as well as they might. The school should design assessments to what pupils have been learning, providing opportunities for them to revisit and remember important knowledge, ready for future learning.
