Congratulations all round at Greenmount Primary School.
Their latest Ofsted inspection report has just been published and finds the school ‘Good’ in all areas.
Highlights from the report
Inspectors say the Greenmount is a good school because,
- Leaders are ambitious. Everyone in the school is expected to aim high and continuously improve their learning or work. The areas for improvement identified in the last section 5 inspection report have been tackled successfully.
- Leaders have taken effective action to ensure that most teaching is at least good. Leaders deploy strengths in teaching well to support further improvement where this is needed.
- Pupils, including those supported by the pupil premium, make good progress. (The pupil premium is additional government funding for pupils entitled to free school meals and those looked after by the local authority.) When pupils’ progress dips, leaders take swift action to provide effective support for pupils and improve teaching.
- Pupils in the resourced provision, and those in the main school who have special educational needs or disability, are supported well to make good progress.
- The roles of middle leaders and their influence on pupils’ achievement is well developed.
- Pupils behave well. During lessons, most pupils work hard and persevere. Pupils are kept safe at school and feel safe.
- Teachers provide a wide ranging curriculum, including experiences which introduce pupils well to life in modern Britain.
- Children in Reception Year are provided with a good start to their school education, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics.
- Governors have a good knowledge of teaching and pupils’ achievement. They regularly support and challenge leaders to ensure that all pupils succeed.
