Check the area around this school
90th of 192 primary schools in West Sussex we can score, 225 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 the 4,123 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Greenway Junior School
Overview
Greenway Junior School is described as a “happy and friendly” environment where pupils “proudly model” values such as respect and compassion. Leaders have driven “targeted improvements” since the previous inspection, resulting in high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who now “thrive with strong support.”
Strengths
- Reading progress is “excellent,” supported by a “relentless focus” and sharply focused catch-up sessions that ensure pupils develop “strong fluency and confidence.”
- The wider curriculum is now “precisely planned and sequenced with high ambition,” following a new approach introduced in September 2023.
- Behaviour is “kind and considerate,” with suspensions becoming “exceedingly rare” after significant improvements in playtime conduct.
- Staff well-being is prioritised, with workload managed to ensure staff feel “happy and proud.”
- Pupils benefit from a wide offer of music and sports opportunities, deepening their personal development.
Areas to improve
- The new foundation curriculum is not yet fully embedded; the school must ensure lesson activities are designed effectively so pupils “securely learn and remember key content.”
- Some pupils lack sustained concentration; teachers must ensure “clear and high learning expectations are met” to keep all pupils fully engaged.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
