Check the area around this school
34th of 35 primary schools in Isle of Wight we can score, 36 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.3/10 against 2,311 of them, against 0.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 32.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.14 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Greenmount Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 32.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.6 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in June 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Greenmount Primary School
Overview
Greenmount Primary School is a place where pupils feel safe, happy, and increasingly supported, with strong improvements in attendance, behaviour, and early years provision. However, the report highlights that achievement has been "too low for too long," with significant gaps in learning for older pupils due to inconsistent teaching and assessment practices across the wider curriculum. Leaders are taking action to address these weaknesses, but it is "too early to see the full impact" of their strategies.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are actively identified and managed.
- Attendance is improving through a "tenacious approach" and targeted support, particularly for vulnerable pupils.
- The early years provision is "well-organised and nurturing," ensuring a secure start with effective teaching and warm interactions.
- Pupils demonstrate high levels of personal development, understanding safety, consent, and British values, and feel a strong sense of belonging.
- Behaviour is generally calm and orderly, with staff dealing with bullying and discriminatory language "quickly and effectively."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure inclusive strategies and support for pupils with additional needs are implemented consistently across all classes.
- A clear and coherent approach to teaching must be established across the wider curriculum, not just in core subjects.
- Teachers need to consistently check pupils’ understanding to identify and address gaps in knowledge promptly.
- Leaders and governors should strengthen communication with parents to build confidence in the school’s recent improvements.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, meaning leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer.
