Check the area around this school
2nd of 97 primary schools in Shropshire we can score, 127 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 — 9.0/10 against 3,750 of them, against 8.5/10 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 | 81.0 · 89 | 62% | 5.49 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 38% | 2.98 |
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 Primary School
Overview
Greenfields Primary School is described as a "nurturing and welcoming" environment where "warm relationships" between staff, pupils, and families are central. The report highlights that pupils are happy, behave well, and feel safe, with a strong emphasis on perseverance and high expectations for all learners, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy their learning and attend well, supported by a "calm environment" and positive attitudes.
- Reading is a high priority, with effective phonics instruction ensuring children develop "confidence and fluency" quickly.
- The provision for pupils with SEND is a strength, with staff swiftly identifying needs and adapting materials so pupils "progress through the curriculum successfully."
- Early years provision is strong, with staff effectively modelling language and helping the youngest children develop confidence and essential skills.
- Leaders are clear in their ambition, and staff workload and well-being are considered "very well."
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not yet fully embedded, meaning pupils do not build knowledge as effectively in a few areas.
- Pupils’ understanding of different faiths and beliefs is variable and not always secure, leaving them less prepared for "life in modern Britain."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
