Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This school excels at teaching reading through expert phonics instruction and supporting children who need extra help. Teachers have strong subject knowledge and lessons are well-structured so pupils build knowledge progressively. The school also provides memorable experiences like visits to the seaside and London, and fosters an inclusive environment where pupils with SEND access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.

Key Strengths

  • Strong phonics teaching and reading support - pupils quickly learn to read and those who struggle are quickly identified and helped
  • Clear, well-structured lessons with teachers who explain concepts clearly and check understanding regularly
  • Excellent behaviour and positive relationships throughout the school
  • Ambitious curriculum that builds knowledge progressively across all subjects
  • Strong focus on vocabulary and oracy from Reception onwards

Areas for Improvement

  • Too many pupils have poor or persistent absence, particularly disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, which causes them to miss important learning
  • Pupils lack a secure, age-appropriate understanding of British values, particularly democracy
  • Need to strengthen strategies to work with families to improve attendance

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective with leaders and staff creating a positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.

Extracurricular Activities

Extra-curricular clubs and activities, end-of-year show for Year 6, trips to seaside and London, role-play centre visits for Reception

The Green Way Academy has maintained good standards since its previous inspection. Pupils speak with pride about their school, where warm relationships and high expectations create a happy and safe learning environment.
