41st of 73 primary schools in Nottingham we can score, 74 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 — 4.5/10 against 2,045 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| 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 Greenfields Community School
Overview
Greenfields Community School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. It is described as a ‘welcoming and inclusive place’ where pupils feel ‘heard and seen’ and are ‘aspirational for all of its pupils’. The school provides a calm, orderly environment with a strong ethos of care, ensuring pupils feel safe and supported.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well in core subjects, particularly English and mathematics, where the curriculum is ‘well sequenced’ and teachers effectively resolve misconceptions.
- Reading is prioritised with phonics taught well from the start, enabling children to become ‘confident readers’ who enjoy a wide range of texts.
- The school offers ‘enriching experiences’ such as residential trips, outdoor learning, and links to a university that raise pupils’ aspirations.
- Staff are skilled at adapting teaching to ensure pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities can access the same curriculum content as their peers.
- Leaders and governors hold each other to account effectively, with staff valuing the ‘supportive team’ and helpful training provided.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum does not identify closely enough the important knowledge pupils need to know and remember, nor the sequence for building it over time.
- Approaches to checking pupils’ knowledge are not well established in foundation subjects, meaning teachers do not consistently identify gaps in pupils’ understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
