Overview: Green Street Green Primary School is a good school where pupils thrive in an inclusive environment with positive, nurturing relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils are happy and confident, with impeccable behaviour across the school.

Strengths:

  • Pupils have kind friends to play with and feel safe due to positive relationships with staff.
  • Staff have high expectations for pupils, leading to impeccable behaviour.
  • Pupils have opportunities to take on roles of responsibility, such as sports leaders and caring for a class stick insect.
  • The school provides a wide range of clubs, including choir, football, and cross-country running.

Areas to improve:

  • In Reception, key vocabulary has not been precisely identified, limiting some children's opportunities to practise and hear new language.
  • In some foundation subjects, pupils' knowledge and understanding is not secure, and the checking of what pupils know and remember is not as effective as it could be.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

What the entrance test covers

Bromley's two grammar schools test separately: 1. Newstead Wood School (girls) — GL Assessment: two multiple-choice papers in verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, each around 50-60 minutes, taken on the same day with a short break. 2. St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School (boys) — TWO STAGES: Stage 1 is a one-hour Selective Eligibility Test of roughly 60 multiple-choice questions across four sections; the top-scoring boys (historically around 450) are invited to Stage 2 in November — two one-hour written papers taken on the same day. Offers are based on Stage 2 performance plus the school's oversubscription criteria. Registration deadlines differ (Newstead Wood closes end of June; St Olave's window is short, in June) — check both schools' pages early in Year 5.
