About Greenholm Primary School

Greenholm Primary is a vibrant and welcoming community where children from a variety of backgrounds come together to learn and grow. We pride ourselves on creating a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages every child to enjoy school and make the most of their time here.

We offer a rich learning environment, with well-equipped classrooms, a library, and access to modern ICT facilities. Our outdoor spaces, including a school farm and forest school area, are used regularly to enhance learning and bring the curriculum to life. Whether exploring nature, developing new skills, or simply enjoying play, our grounds provide opportunities for all children to thrive.

Our last Ofsted inspection was in November 2022.  Their report identified many strengths including the quality of teaching and learning and standards achieved by the children. 

High Expectations for All

At Greenholm, we believe that every child should be given the chance to do their very best. This commitment was reflected in our most recent Ofsted report, which praised the quality of our teaching, children’s behavior, and the strong progress being made in reading, writing, and mathematics.

Highlights from the report include:

  • A focus on improving teaching through staff training and support.
  • Positive learning environments where children are engaged and motivated.
  • Pupils’ strong outcomes across key subjects.

Working Together

We know that strong partnerships with families and the local community make a huge difference to children’s education. From our Before and After School Club to regular opportunities for parents to get involved, we value the role everyone plays in supporting the school. Our team works hard to build positive relationships so that every child gets the support they need to succeed.

Governance and Leadership

Our governing body plays a vital role in the life of Greenholm Primary, providing strategic leadership and holding the school to account. Governors are drawn from our staff, parents, and local community, ensuring that a broad range of perspectives inform decision-making. Together, they are responsible for:

  • Setting the school’s aims and objectives.
  • Establishing the policies needed to achieve those aims.
  • Monitoring and evaluating progress against the school’s targets.
  • Ensuring that Greenholm provides high-quality education for all pupils.

The governing board works closely with school leaders to ensure high expectations and promote effective teaching and learning. By setting ambitious goals and monitoring progress, our governors help to create an environment where every child can thrive.
