Following our most recent Ofsted inspection on 28th and 29th January 2025, we are delighted to share that Green Oaks Primary Academy retained its ‘Good’ judgement.

We are extremely proud of the outcome and of the positive findings reflected throughout the inspection report. The inspection recognised many strengths across our Academy, with particularly positive feedback about our pupils and the work of the school.

The inspection took place over two days and was conducted as a Section 8 inspection, designed to assess whether the school had maintained the standards identified at its previous graded inspection in October 2018.

We are very pleased that the report reflects the dedication and hard work of our pupils, staff, families and wider school community. We remain committed to building on our strengths, continually developing our provision and ensuring that every child at Green Oaks has the opportunity to thrive.

A summary of the feedback we received:

• Pupils are happy and enjoy school. They like and respect their teachers, and listen to one another.
• Teachers engage pupils in learning successfully and develop their confidence.
• The school has high expectations of pupils, and pupils rise to meet these.
• Pupils take on leadership responsibilities, including as members of the elected school council, to make decisions about school life.
• They study subjects in depth and eagerly write at length in subjects outside of English.
• Staff have appropriate subject knowledge that they use well to support pupils in their learning.
• Teaching often checks that pupils understand their learning and that they retain key knowledge.
• Pupils work sensibly in class and listen.
• The school has responded rapidly to the increasing proportion of pupils in the school who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
• The school organises educational outings that help pupils connect what they have learned in school to the world around them.

Parent View

Parent View is an online questionnaire that allows parents and carers to give their views about their child’s school at any time. It is also the main mechanism for parents to give their views about their child’s school to inspectors at the time of a school inspection.

The questionnaire can be accessed directly from the Parent View site at https://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk or from the home page of Ofsted website at www.gov.uk/ofsted.
