19th of 54 primary schools in Swindon we can score, 66 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 — 7.3/10 against 2,490 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Greenmeadow Primary School
Overview
Greenmeadow Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at its previous inspection. The school provides a positive environment where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, strive to meet high expectations and achieve well. Leaders have successfully developed the quality of education, fostering a community-minded culture where pupils are respectful, resilient, and eager to learn.
Strengths
- The curriculum is carefully constructed so that knowledge builds step by step, helping pupils make sense of their learning across subjects like geography and science.
- Staff have high expectations for all pupils, with those having special educational needs and/or disabilities receiving well-understood support smoothly built into daily routines.
- Early reading is taught skillfully; children who fall behind are swiftly spotted and receive expert help, allowing them to catch up rapidly.
- Pupils demonstrate strong character and resilience, participating in community responsibilities such as play leadership and charity fundraising.
- Attendance is high for all groups of pupils, supported by effective tracking and partnership with families.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must be supported to use assessment strategies effectively to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge, as errors and misconceptions sometimes go unaddressed.
- Staff need to check more effectively that pupils have learned and remembered what they have been taught about different world religions to ensure secure knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
