Strengths
- “Warm and positive relationships permeate throughout Greenfield Primary School.”
- “Pupils appreciate the support and care they receive.”
- “This means that pupils are happy and feel safe in school.”
To improve
- “Some very recent changes mean that a small number of subjects are at an earlier stage of development than others.”

- “This means that some children are not fully prepared for their next stages in learning.”
