Check the area around this school
107th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 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 the 4,152 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.3/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Greenfield Primary School
Overview
Greenfield Primary School is described as a place where pupils are "proud of their school" and feel "valued and nurtured." The inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education with "warm and caring" relationships, resulting in pupils who are "happy" and "safe." Leaders have created a "family feel" where staff feel supported and pupils thrive academically and socially.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully considered and mapped out," with staff effectively modelling crucial knowledge and vocabulary in most subjects.
- Reading is a significant strength, supported by an "effective phonics programme" that helps pupils read with "confidence and fluency."
- The school is "highly inclusive," ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "well supported to learn alongside their peers."
- Children in the early years "get off to a flying start," benefiting from "well-established routines" and an "exciting and well-organised learning environment."
- Governance is a strength, with leaders sharing an "ambitious vision" and valuing staff workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In a "very small number of subjects," the precise knowledge and vocabulary are not as clear, meaning some pupils struggle to recall key learning.
- Pupils’ knowledge of different faiths and religions is "limited," which restricts how well they are "prepared for life in modern Britain."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
