About Greenfield Primary Academy

Greenfield Primary Academy in Tameside has turned a significant corner. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 awarded it a Good rating across every category, a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019 when it was judged Inadequate overall. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 73% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the Tameside local authority average of 62%, placing Greenfield 12th out of 57 primary schools in the borough and within the top 25% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 73 reflects solid, consistent performance, particularly given the high level of disadvantage among its intake.
