Check the area around this school
29th of 45 primary schools in Solihull we can score, 59 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 — 5.9/10 against 3,893 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Greswold Primary School
Overview
Greswold Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy their learning and work hard. Leaders have developed a rich curriculum linked to the school’s ‘BRICKS’ values, ensuring pupils feel safe, valued, and well-supported.
Strengths
- Pupils are "polite and well mannered," treating each other with "kindness and respect" and feeling safe at school.
- Staff take "great care to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities," ensuring full participation in learning.
- Teachers provide "precise explanations" and break new information into small steps, helping pupils complete their work effectively.
- There is a "structured approach to reading," with daily phonics sessions and regular reading opportunities that pupils enjoy.
- Leaders provide "excellent pastoral support," and staff appreciate steps taken to manage workload and promote well-being.
Areas to improve
- Some subject leaders lack the expertise to monitor curriculum impact effectively; senior leaders must ensure they receive necessary support and development.
- Curriculum end-points are not clear in some subjects, limiting potential progress; leaders should ensure these are clearly understood and learning is planned accordingly.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust recruitment checks and staff who are quick to identify concerns and work closely with relevant agencies.
