Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

High Green Primary School excels in Years 5 and 6, where pupils make excellent progress in mathematics and reading under consistently strong teaching. The school creates a safe, supportive environment where pupils are proud to learn and treat each other with respect. Pupils with special educational needs and more-able students receive good support and make solid progress.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils achieve well in Reception and Years 5 and 6 where teaching is consistently good or outstanding
  • Disabled pupils, those with special educational needs, and more-able pupils make good progress throughout the school
  • Pupils' behaviour is good in lessons and around the school, and they feel safe and supported
  • Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is promoted well

Areas for Improvement

  • Teaching is inconsistent in quality and does not always match work to pupils' ability levels, especially for less able and average ability pupils
  • Teachers talk for too long in lessons, leaving insufficient time for pupils to practise independently
  • Marking is inconsistent and teachers do not always check that their feedback has been acted upon
  • Teaching assistants do not consistently support pupils throughout lessons or focus on specific skills
  • Leadership roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined, and the governing body lacks independent knowledge of school performance

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - pupils feel safe and behave well with good support from staff.

Extracurricular Activities

music lessons, residential trips

High Green Primary School is a smaller than average primary school that requires improvement. The school has declined from its previous outstanding rating, with variable teaching quality and uneven pupil progress across year groups.
