About Greenside Primary School

Greenside Primary School in Hammersmith and Fulham has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection report singled out leadership and management as Outstanding, while early years provision was judged Good. This is a notable improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2012, when it was rated Requires Improvement. On the most telling academic metric for a primary school, Greenside’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 84% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the local authority average of 76% for Hammersmith and Fulham, placing the school 12th out of 35 primary schools in the borough. In the London region, Greenside ranks in the top 12.5% of all primaries, and nationally it sits in the top 5.8%.

Digging into the individual subject scores, Greenside’s reading results are particularly strong: 95% of pupils reached the expected standard and 63% achieved the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 110. In maths, 89% hit the expected level and 37% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 108. Writing is slightly less strong, with 89% at expected and 16% at the higher level. The school does not publish progress scores for any subject, so it’s not possible to see how much value it adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Still, the headline combined figure of 84% is a solid indicator that most children leave Greenside with a firm grasp of the basics. The school is relatively small, with 218 pupils against a capacity of 235, and just over a quarter of pupils (24.4%) are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average.

Greenside is a popular choice locally. For 2025/26 entry, the school received 123 applications for 30 places, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 4.1 to one. Only 16 of the 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so getting in is competitive. The school has a nursery provision, which may help with transition into Reception. Facilities include a library, art studios, music rooms, a sensory room, a gymnasium, a forest school area and playing fields. Sports on offer include swimming, athletics, cricket and football, while clubs range from gardening and drama to science and eco club. The school’s SEND provisions cover a wide spectrum, including support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, visual impairment, physical disability and social, emotional and mental health needs. Greenside is a good fit for families who want a well-regarded local primary with strong core academic results, a broad range of facilities and a clear track record of improvement under an Outstanding-rated leadership team.
