Ofsted's report card from its 9 June 2026 inspection grades Greenmount Primary School on 7 areas: 3 expected standard and 4 needs attention. Report cards replaced single-word judgements in November 2025, on a five-point scale from exceptional to urgent improvement.

Attendance and behaviour - Expected standard. "Leaders have strengthened the strategic leadership of attendance."

Early years - Expected standard. "Leaders prioritise the early years as the foundation for children's learning."

Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "Leaders prioritise pupils' personal development and wellbeing."

Achievement - Needs attention. "Published outcomes at the end of key stage 2 have been too low for too long."

Curriculum and teaching - Needs attention. "There is too much variability in the delivery of the curriculum across the school."

Inclusion - Needs attention. "There are inconsistencies in how effectively provision meets pupils' needs and reduces barriers to learning."

Leadership and governance - Needs attention. "Leaders' actions are at an early stage and have not yet secured consistent practice across the school."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should ensure that inclusive strategies are implemented consistently across all classes so that support for pupils with additional needs reduces barriers to learning and enables them to access the full curriculum"; "Leaders should ensure that a clear and coherent approach to teaching is implemented consistently across the wider curriculum so that all pupils receive the quality of education intended"; "Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently check pupils' understanding and use this information to adapt teaching so that gaps in knowledge are identified and addressed promptly"; "Leaders and governors should continue to strengthen communication with parents and carers so that recent improvements are understood and supported, and confidence in the school's work continues to grow".

The school runs after-school care until 5:45pm.
