Check the area around this school
48th of 229 primary schools in Nottinghamshire we can score, 286 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 — 7.8/10 against 2,439 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 62% | 4.51 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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 Greenwood Primary and Nursery School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy and motivated within an "inclusive and nurturing school" where they feel safe. The report highlights a "broad and aspirational" curriculum that ensures all pupils, including disadvantaged learners, achieve well, supported by "excellent" behaviour and attitudes.
Strengths
- Personal development is "exceptional," with pupils developing leadership skills and a secure understanding of British values through a rich programme of activities.
- Early years provision is outstanding, with staff ensuring children make a "highly positive start" in reading and mathematics through precise learning activities.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a "significant strength," with clear plans enabling them to access the full curriculum and achieve well.
- Reading is given the "highest priority," with staff delivering phonics "extremely effectively" so pupils read with confidence and fluency.
- Leadership and management are effective, with trustees providing "sharp and thorough oversight" and staff valuing high-quality training and workload consideration.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, planned curriculums are not routinely implemented as intended because "key subject knowledge and subject disciplinary knowledge are not taught consistently well."
- The school must ensure teachers have the expertise to deliver the intended curriculum in all subjects so that pupils build the necessary knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
