Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Greet Primary School is warm, welcoming and inclusive. The school's mission that 'all pupils understand that there are no limits to what they can achieve' underpins every aspect of school life. Pupils respond positively to the school's high expectations and aspirations for their academic success. They typically achieve well across all subject areas.
Children in the early years settle into school quickly. Pupils enjoy coming to school each day. They understand how the school's values of working hard, being kind and making good choices help them to learn effectively.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Since the previous inspection, the school has developed a curriculum that is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school has identified the important knowledge that pupils should learn from Nursery through to Year 6. Pupils build on their prior learning in a logical and well-structured way. For example, pupils in Year 4 learn about food chains successfully because they already have secure knowledge of producers and consumers from previous lessons.
The school identifies the needs of pupils with SEND effectively. These pupils are happy in school and speak with pride about their achievements. However, there is some variability in how well teachers adapt the learning activities to suit the needs of all pupils, including those pupils with SEND, in some subjects.
