What This School Does Well
The Greville Primary School is a caring, inclusive place where children thrive both academically and emotionally.

The school's strong values and extensive activities - from choirs and orchestras to leadership roles - help every child develop confidence, resilience and a belief that they can achieve their goals.
Key Strengths
- Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and attitudes to learning are highly positive - they are eager to learn and conduct themselves extremely well
- Excellent phonics teaching and reading provision - pupils become confident and fluent readers with carefully matched books

- Outstanding early years provision with exciting activities that develop children's curiosity, creativity and language skills

Areas for Improvement
- In a couple of subjects, assessment systems do not robustly check whether pupils have retained the specific knowledge taught, leaving some pupils with gaps
- Teachers need stronger systems to quickly identify and close any gaps in pupils' previously taught knowledge
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with an open and positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.
