Ofsted inspectors have said that Greenhill Primary School in Bramley remains a ‘good’ school.
Greenhill, on the Gamble Hill estate, has been rated as ‘good’ for its quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and its early years provision.
Inspectors say the school has ‘improved rapidly’.
“Pupils are safe and happy,” a report published this week stated. “Pupils celebrate difference and are knowledgeable about different faiths. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ conduct and most pupils meet or exceed these expectations.
“Pupils who need more support to manage their behaviour get the right help. The school offers pupils a rich range of rewards, including ‘person of the week’, to encourage high self-esteem.”
The school has a broad and effective curriculum, which continues to rapidly develop.
“In most subjects, all pupils learn and remember well,” the report adds. “However, in a small number of wider curriculum subjects, pupils’ understanding sometimes lacks depth.”
A strong pastoral system supports pupils’ emotional development and resilience, right from the early years, inspector’s noted.
The school was also told that some pupils do not attend school regularly enough.
