About Exton and Greetham CofE Primary School

Exton and Greetham CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and an ungraded inspection in 2022 that confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this small Rutland primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 75%. That figure places the school above the Rutland local authority average of 70% and ranks it 7th out of 17 primary schools in the county, putting it in the top 25% of schools nationally for this measure. With just 67 pupils on roll, the school achieves these results with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 16.4%, suggesting strong academic support for all its children.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, the school shows particular strength in reading, where 92% of pupils met the expected standard and 33% achieved the higher standard. In writing, 83% reached the expected level and 17% the higher level, while in maths 75% met the expected standard and 25% the higher standard. The average scaled scores for both reading and maths are 105, comfortably above the national baseline of 100. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available in the data, but the attainment figures alone paint a picture of solid academic performance, especially in literacy. The Ofsted leadership and management grade of Good, alongside a Good rating for overall effectiveness, reinforces the impression of a well-run school that delivers consistent outcomes for its small cohort.

The school offers a practical range of facilities including a library, ICT suite, sensory room, forest school, playing fields, gymnasium and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. Sports provision covers swimming, cricket, dance, cross country, rounders, gymnastics and football, while clubs include drama, choir, gardening and book club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. The school was oversubscribed for 2025/26 entry, with 10 applications for 5 places and all 5 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. This is a school that suits families who value strong core academic results within a small, church-affiliated village setting, and who are prepared to compete for a place.
