Greenslade Primary School

About Greenslade Primary School

Greenslade Primary School in Greenwich was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2013. The school has held a Good rating across both its more recent graded and ungraded inspections, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged Good. On the key academic metric of Key Stage 2 results, 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That places the school slightly below the Greenwich local authority average of 71%, though it's worth noting that only 14% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects. The school's ranking within Greenwich is 35th out of 57 primary schools, putting it in the top 50% nationally.

Looking closer at individual subjects, Greenslade's pupils performed solidly. In reading, 82% met the expected standard with an average score of 106, and 25% reached the higher standard. Writing saw the same 82% expected rate and 25% higher rate. Maths was a touch weaker, with 79% at expected and an average score of 106, though 39% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths alone — the strongest higher-rate figure of the three subjects. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available, so it's hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points. But the overall picture is of a school performing broadly in line with local averages, with maths a relative strength at the top end. For context, the nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Bannockburn Primary School, about a kilometre away.
