What This School Does Well
Greenhill Primary School excels at giving children a strong start to reading through rich, organized early learning environments and well-matched reading books that build confidence and fluency. The school has skilled leadership and governors working together to drive improvement, and teachers in upper key stage 2 are effectively teaching pupils to enjoy reading and make comparisons between texts. Parents appreciate the improved communication and the school's care and support for their children.
Key Strengths
- Strong early years provision with well-organized Nursery and Reception environments that give children a good start in phonics and literacy
- Improved teaching and stronger transition between Reception and Year 1, with high expectations and quick identification of misconceptions
- Strengthened leadership team and governors who bring good subject knowledge, shared vision and capacity for improvement
- Positive impact of local authority training on reading comprehension, particularly for older pupils in upper key stage 2
- Improved attendance this year with strategies including family support officer, rewards, and parent meetings
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils' average progress in reading, writing and mathematics needs to be more rapid, particularly for those starting from low starting points
- Lower-ability pupils, including those with SEN and disabilities, do not receive the same quality systematic phonics teaching as other pupils
- Teachers need support in making accurate assessments of pupils' attainment throughout the year from different starting points
- Attendance still needs to improve further, particularly with persistent absenteeism in some families
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective, with leaders ensuring well-understood systems are in place, proper record-keeping of concerns and responses, and pupils taught age-appropriate safety lessons including online safety and personal decision-making.
Greenhill Primary School continues to be good, with strong leadership and governance that have maintained education quality since the last inspection in 2014. The school is focused on improving reading achievement and progress for lower-ability pupils from their starting points.
