About Garretts Green Nursery School

Garretts Green Nursery School, a state nursery in Birmingham for children aged two to five, holds the highest possible Ofsted rating of Outstanding, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2019. This places it among an elite group locally: of the 27 nursery schools in the Birmingham local authority, only 17 currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in July 2024 confirmed that it remains Outstanding, with inspectors noting that the school continues to provide an excellent standard of education. Leadership and management were also judged Outstanding, reflecting strong oversight from headteacher Claire Henebury. While the school does not publish formal academic metrics like SATs or Progress 8 scores — standard for a nursery setting — its Ofsted record provides the clearest indicator of quality. Its previous inspection in 2012 rated the school Good, meaning it has improved and sustained the highest standard for over a decade.
