In the most recent local rankings, Greet placed 195th, placing it in the bottom half of Birmingham primaries. For context, the top-performing nearby schools include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is The Olive School, Birmingham, less than a kilometre away. Greet itself is a large state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision and a current roll of 786 pupils against a capacity of 918. The school has a significant proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 50.2 per cent. It is led by headteacher Tania Yasmin and has no religious character. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2024, the school was judged Good across all five graded areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a notable improvement from its previous inspection in March 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall.

Academically, Greet’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 54 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is below the Birmingham local authority average of 63 per cent. In individual subjects, 64 per cent reached the expected standard in reading, 74 per cent in writing, and 68 per cent in maths. At the higher standard, the figures are lower: 17 per cent in reading, 4 per cent in writing, and 17 per cent in maths, with just 2 per cent achieving the higher standard across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 103 in both reading and maths. Progress scores are not available for any of the three subjects. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 30 per cent of primaries on the combined expected standard metric, and in the West Midlands it sits in the bottom 29 per cent. The school does not have a sixth form. Parent View responses, collected from 34 respondents between September 2024 and September 2025, show mixed feelings: only 21 per cent would recommend the school, while 79 per cent would not.

Greet Primary School offers a broad range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, art studios, a forest school, an outdoor playground, and a chapel. Sports provision includes dance, swimming, gymnastics, cross country, rounders, and netball, while extracurricular clubs cover science, coding, drama, eco club, chess, and film club. The school has extensive SEND provisions, supporting pupils with moderate and severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulties. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school was oversubscribed: 149 applications were received for 46 places, with 40 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.24. This suggests strong local demand despite the mixed academic and parental feedback. Greet may suit families who value a large, inclusive primary with strong SEND support and a wide range of clubs and facilities, particularly those who prioritise the recent improvement in Ofsted rating and the school’s nursery provision.
