Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Greenwich School is rooted in positive relationships. Pupils and staff work harmoniously. Pupils are proud of the small-school ethos. As one pupil said: 'We all know each other. We all get on. We're like one big family.'
The school's values are well known and understood. Pupils say that teamwork, resilience, pride, ambition, difference, compassion and respect help them to work hard and to make a positive contribution, both within and beyond the school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's curriculum is well organised. It is broad and engaging. Pupils find lessons interesting and, on the whole, remember what they have been taught. Across all subjects, the curriculum is well planned and sequenced. It helps pupils to build knowledge incrementally over time. In a small number of subjects, the curriculum sets out the skills that pupils are expected to master. However, the underpinning knowledge that pupils are expected to know to master these skills in these subjects is not made clear.
Reading is prioritised. The school's phonics programme is well planned and sequenced. It is taught consistently well. Pupils regularly practise and recap the sounds that they have learned before. The books that pupils read are closely matched to the sounds that they know. Over time, pupils become avid readers. They read regularly and widely. They are familiar with a wide range of books, genres and authors. Older pupils described their love of 'MacBeth'. They were able to articulate how the English language has changed over time.
