Ofsted Insights
From Ofsted's December 2025 inspection report.
What This School Does Well
The school has successfully established phonics teaching and PSHE programmes in Years 1-2, with trained subject leaders delivering engaging lessons that help pupils progress. Reading is prioritized through a new library and bilingual collections. The school creates a safe environment where pupils trust adults and actively promotes wellbeing through initiatives like safeguarding week.
Key Strengths
- Phonics and PSHE schemes of work now in place and delivered effectively in Years 1-2
- Strong safeguarding arrangements maintained with up-to-date training and policies
- Reading has high profile with new library and bilingual book collections
- Subject leaders well-trained and adapt teaching effectively for pupils with additional needs
- Leadership taking action to improve with new proprietor representative and headteacher
Areas for Improvement
- Early years phonics provision insufficient - only one lesson per week when children need daily practice
- Children in Reception lack access to decodable books to apply phonics learning
- Improvements to early years have been too slow across multiple inspections since 2019
- Early learning goals need stronger focus within curriculum planning
- Leadership capacity and oversight still need strengthening
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - the school maintains secure practices with up-to-date training, comprehensive pre-employment checks, and pupils feel safe and trusted.
Greek Primary School of London is a free independent school serving the Greek community in London with a Greek Orthodox ethos. The school does not meet all independent school standards checked during this inspection, particularly regarding early years phonics provision.
