Check the area around this school
59th of 61 primary schools in Greenwich we can score, 62 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.2/10 against 1,513 of them, against 5.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Greenacres Primary School and Language Impairment Unit
Overview
Greenacres Primary School is described as a place where "every pupil feels like they belong," underpinned by an "embedded" inclusive culture. The report highlights that pupils are "happy and feel safe," with behaviour that is "calm and highly positive." While safeguarding standards are met and inclusion is rated at a strong standard, most other aspects of provision are assessed at the expected standard.
Strengths
- Inclusion is a "strong standard," with staff acting promptly to remove barriers and providing "skilled support" for pupils with complex needs.
- Personal development is rated at a "strong standard," featuring a "thoughtfully designed" offer that promotes diversity and ensures pupils feel "represented and valued."
- Safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- Staff demonstrate deep knowledge of pupils, creating a "calm, caring and purposeful atmosphere" in the early years and across the school.
- Pupils show "maturity, respect and an appreciation of kindness," with bullying being rare and incidents dealt with "swiftly and appropriately."
Areas to improve
- Leaders should "continue to strengthen pedagogical approaches" to enable all pupils to achieve well, particularly as new teaching strategies require time to impact outcomes.
- Leaders should "build upon the school's work to promote high rates of attendance," including intervening swiftly to support families where attendance is low.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," meaning leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer.
