Greet Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

Greet Primary School is warm, welcoming and inclusive. The school's mission that 'all pupils understand that there are no limits to what they can achieve' underpins every aspect of school life. Pupils respond positively to the school's high expectations and aspirations for their academic success. They typically achieve well across all subject areas. Children in the early years settle into school quickly. Pupils enjoy coming to school each day. They understand how the school's values of working hard, being kind and making good choices help them to learn effectively. Pupils behave well in class and at breaktimes. Pupils are polite and are respectful of differences between themselves and others. They welcome new pupils to their school and say that it is easy to make friends here. Playtimes are sociable and pupils enjoy activities such as riding bicycles, climbing and den-building activities. Pupils know that their teachers take bullying seriously. They are confident that staff will deal with any worries they may have. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils enjoy a wide range of trips and events. They visit the seaside to learn about coastlines, museums to experience artefacts from the past and farms to learn about agriculture. These experiences enrich pupils' understanding of the world.

What the school should improve

• The school does not ensure that learning is consistently and effectively adapted to meet the needs of all pupils. This means, at times, some pupils have work that does not precisely meet their needs. The school should develop the teaching expertise of all staff, in a way that does not impact workload, so that adaptations to the curriculum enable all pupils to achieve well in all lessons.
• Assessment is not as well developed in some foundation subjects. As a result, the school does not always identify and address the gaps that pupils have in their learning. The school should develop their approach to assessment in the foundation subjects and early years so that gaps are identified and addressed across all subjects.
• The school does not provide parents with enough opportunities to share their opinions about what is and is not working well. Some parents do not feel fully informed about the work of the school. The school should continue its positive work with the whole community so that parents are more involved with their children's learning and understand the decisions made by the school.
