Green Meadow Primary School

Overview

Green Meadow Primary School is described as having a “supportive, friendly and welcoming” atmosphere where pupils are “ready, respectful and safe.” The report highlights that pupils “love learning” and demonstrate “positive attitudes,” benefiting from an “ambitious, broad and successful curriculum” that has improved significantly since the previous inspection.

Strengths

• Pupils exhibit “Outstanding” behaviour and attitudes, treating one another with “mutual respect and equality” and responding well to clear expectations.
• The curriculum in subjects such as history and mathematics is well embedded, allowing pupils to gain “secure mathematical and historical knowledge.”
• Teachers “intentionally teach all pupils to communicate effectively in speech,” resulting in pupils who share ideas clearly and have won a local public speaking competition.
• Early years provision is “Outstanding,” with children settling quickly into routines and benefiting from an “ambitious and well structured” curriculum.
• Leaders share a “highly ambitious vision” and provide extensive wider experiences, including residentials and clubs, to support personal development.

Areas to improve

• In a “small number of subjects,” the curriculum is at an “earlier stage of implementation,” meaning pupils are “not remembering as much as they might.” The school should continue to implement and review these subjects to ensure they become as embedded and effective as current strengths.

Safeguarding

The report states that “The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
