Overview: Greenwich House School is a small, independent school with a good reputation for providing a supportive and inclusive environment for its pupils. The school has a strong focus on relationships and values, which helps to promote a positive and enthusiastic attitude among pupils.
Strengths:
- Pupils and staff have positive relationships, with pupils describing the school as "like one big family".
- The school's values of teamwork, resilience, pride, ambition, difference, compassion, and respect are well understood and help pupils to work hard and make a positive contribution.
- Pupils behave well, with a strong emphasis on rewards and recognition for good behaviour.
- The school provides a wide range of sporting and creative activities beyond the curriculum, which are highly valued by pupils.
- The school takes good care of its pupils, with a strong pastoral care offer that promotes and supports individual social, emotional, and mental health needs.
Areas to improve:
- The curriculum in a small number of subjects does not make clear the underpinning knowledge that pupils are expected to acquire to master the skills they are developing.
- There are limited opportunities for pupils to take on additional roles and responsibilities around the school, which means that pupils are not able to develop their leadership skills and experience as broadly as they could.
- The school does not have a systematic approach for checking how well pupils learn and remember the precise content of the curriculum, which means that staff do not have a fully rounded view of what they need to do to bring about further improvements in the school.
Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
