Check the area around this school
18th of 181 primary schools in Wiltshire we can score, 201 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 — 8.0/10 against 3,752 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 62% | 4.02 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 38% | 3.53 |
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 Greentrees Primary School
Overview
Greentrees Primary School is described as a highly inclusive environment where pupils thrive, instilled with values of "kindness and curiosity." The report highlights an "ambitious and coherently sequenced curriculum" and outstanding behaviour, personal development, and leadership. While the school excels in most areas, it requires improvement in the precision of strategies used to check pupil understanding.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exceptional thoughtfulness and understanding towards one another," contributing actively to school culture through various leadership roles.
- The curriculum is well-designed, with knowledge and vocabulary "explicitly linked across the subjects," allowing pupils to make effective connections.
- Early years provision is outstanding, with children making a "strong start to learning to read" and immersing themselves in roles such as ‘artists’ or ‘scientists’.
- The school is highly effective in supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring an "inclusive, supportive and accessible" experience.
- Leaders share a "determined vision" and work effectively to promote regular attendance and support families when concerns arise.
Areas to improve
- Strategies to check how well pupils have understood the curriculum are "sometimes not used effectively," meaning some pupils do not secure intended knowledge in a timely way.
- Teachers must ensure these assessment strategies are used with "greater precision" so that misconceptions are identified and addressed promptly.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
