What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 March 2024
Greythorn Primary School is an ambitious and inclusive school. The school celebrates and values its diverse community. Pupils are happy. They feel safe and well cared for. One pupil stated: 'Teachers always push us to be the best we can be. If you ever feel down or sad, the adults here will always listen to you and help you.' Staff model the school's clearly defined values and pupils understand and follow them. The school's curriculum content includes knowledge and skills that go beyond the expectations of the national curriculum. Leaders have high expectations that all pupils will achieve well and make strong progress. Leaders' aspiration for disadvantaged pupils is equally high. Behaviour is a real strength of the school. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils consistently show high levels of engagement. They listen intently and display positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils are polite and respectful of each other and staff. Pupils take pride in the range of extra responsibilities they can take on. The school considers pupils' character education when planning these responsibilities. For example, the school's pupil parliament has the opportunity to work collaboratively with other pupil parliaments across the Flying High Trust.
What the school should improve
- Assessment in the foundation subjects is in the process of being refined to reflect the school's revised curriculum end-point expectations. As a result, there is currently some inconsistency in the depth of pupils' knowledge in relation to the aspiration of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that assessments align to revised curriculum endpoints so that pupils know and remember more of the intended curriculum.
