Check the area around this school
156th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,784 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 62% | 1.59 |
| 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 Landau Forte Academy Greenacres
Overview
This is a school where “everybody matters and feels included,” with pupils described as “well cared for and happy.” The report highlights a resilient community that has managed significant challenges, including off-site education due to maintenance, while maintaining high ambitions for pupil achievement. Leaders work effectively with the trust to improve provision, ensuring decisions remain in the best interests of pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils develop “kind relationships” with staff and peers, knowing who to report concerns to if they feel vulnerable.
- Early reading is taught accurately, with pupils supported to read books that “match the sounds they know” and those who fall behind receiving help to keep up.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported to participate in all aspects of the school curriculum” and settle quickly.
- Staff well-being is prioritised, with subject leaders given time to check learning and new teachers receiving necessary support.
- Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes, behaving well in “calm” classrooms and showing responsibility as “active, kind citizens.”
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum moves too quickly, meaning teachers do not always help pupils “build on what they have learned previously,” leading to superficial understanding.
- Some vulnerable groups of pupils do not attend school regularly enough, which affects their learning and social development; the school should continue supporting parents to understand the importance of daily attendance.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
