About Greenfields Primary School

Greenfields Primary School in Shropshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection, carried out in May 2025, awarded Good marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more complicated story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, just 46% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is well below the Shropshire local authority average of 59%, and it places Greenfields 70th out of 88 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom half of the county. The school’s national percentile ranking of 84th suggests that, across England, a significant majority of primary schools outperform it on this key measure.

Looking more closely at the individual subject scores, the picture is mixed. In writing, 72% of pupils met the expected standard, which is a solid result, and 16% achieved the higher standard. Reading was weaker, with 56% at the expected level and 12% at the higher level. Maths sat in the middle: 64% reached the expected standard, but only 8% reached the higher standard, and the average maths score was 101. The school’s overall ranking score of 46, based on the combined expected standard metric, places it in the bottom 50 nationally. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Ofsted’s inspection report, published in June 2025, noted that the school’s leadership and management are Good, and the early years provision is also Good, which may offer some reassurance to parents of younger children.

Greenfields is a state primary school for mixed genders aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, there were 71 applications for 39 places, and all 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.82. The school has a range of facilities including a library, gymnasium, sports hall, playing fields, a sensory room, and a forest school. It offers clubs such as coding, science, eco and film club, and sports including football, cricket, tennis and gymnastics. The school lists eight SEND provisions, covering areas like dyslexia, speech and language needs, autistic spectrum disorder, and social, emotional and mental health support. Parent feedback is strong: 96% of respondents would recommend the school, and 96% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy there. This is a school that clearly inspires loyalty among its families, even if its academic results are not among the strongest in the county.
