Grayswood Primary School continually strives to constantly improve, review and develop its practice encompassing our children, staff, volunteers and governors. We are extremely pleased with our results in recent years -particularly in 2023 and 2024, where we were significantly above national and county averages in all statutory assessments.

OFSTED

In February 2024, we welcomed Ofsted to Grayswood CE Primary School. The inspection team were impressed with the development of our curriculum, the quality of education we provide and the happiness of the children in our care. 

Key strengths include:

• Pupils are extremely happy and feel safe at Grayswood Primary. The school has a clear and purposeful vision for both pupils’ behaviour and the quality of their work.
• Ambitious staff give pupils every chance to achieve well. Staff deliver this ambition in a caring and nurturing way that pupils respond very well to.
• The school has developed its curriculum considerably. All pupils receive a broad and relevant curriculum that includes the right knowledge pupils need to learn in each subject.
• Pupils are exceptionally well mannered. They get on very well with each other and welcome new pupils warmly. They build strong friendships, not only in their classes, but across the school.
• Children in the Reception Year make a strong start as they settle into school routines.
• Pupils know what is right and wrong, and that they should not discriminate against others. They want to help others in need, both in the local and wider communities.
• The school teaches pupils to read very well. This has led to high achievement in recent years.
• The achievement of disadvantaged pupils is strong, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
• The school gives pupils some excellent opportunities to broaden their experiences.
• Pupils give back to the community by taking on a range of leadership responsibilities.

SIAMS

In addition to OFSTED inspections, as a Church of England school we have a SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) inspection.  In June 2018, we were judged to be Good.  

Noted strengths include:

• Centrality of the school’s distinctive vision which is known, understood and lived by the whole school community.
• Relationships between pupils and between staff and pupils are excellent.
• Pupil attainment and progress are improving.
• Collective worship is outstanding and makes a significant contribution to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of all pupils.
• Recent senior leadership arrangements are having a strong impact on the school’s development ensuring that ambitious targets are being met.
