Greenmount Primary School

About Greenmount Primary School

Greenmount Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary in Bury, with a school capacity of 245 pupils. The school does not have nursery provision, so its intake begins at age 4 and runs through to 11. While the data does not include current pupil numbers or free school meal percentages, the school’s religious character is listed as 'Does not apply', meaning it is a community school without a faith designation. The headteacher is David Griffith. There is no admissions oversubscription data in the available information, so it is not possible to gauge demand directly, but the school’s Good Ofsted rating and its position within Bury’s primary landscape suggest it is a stable choice for local families. Bury has 64 primary schools of the same type, and only two of those hold an Outstanding rating, so Good-rated schools like Greenmount represent the majority of provision in the area.

In its most recent graded inspection in 2015, Ofsted rated Greenmount Primary School as Good overall, with the same rating for leadership and management, early years provision, and quality of education. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection, in December 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained. The data does not include specific Key Stage 2 SATs results for the school, so it is not possible to compare its academic performance directly against the Bury local authority average of 64% achieving the expected standard. However, the school’s consistent Good rating across multiple inspections — including a previous inspection in 2012 that also rated it Good — indicates a reliable level of quality. The Ofsted report is available online for parents who want to read the full findings.

The school offers a solid range of facilities, including a library, playing fields, sports hall, ICT suite, art studios, sensory room, and even a chapel. Sports provision covers football, cricket, dance, tennis, athletics, swimming, and netball, while extracurricular clubs include choir, science club, and eco club. There is no mention of SEND-specific programmes in the data, but the sensory room may support pupils with additional needs. For families considering Greenmount, the nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Chantlers Primary School, about 4 km away. This school will suit parents looking for a well-equipped, Good-rated community primary in Bury with a broad range of sports and clubs, and a stable leadership team under David Griffith.
