Greenford High School is a large, inclusive secondary school performing well overall. Safeguarding standards are met, and the school reaches a strong standard in inclusion, personal development and wellbeing, and post-16 provision. Its inclusive ethos is a major strength: pupils with SEND — including those in the resourced provision for autism and speech, language and communication needs — and disadvantaged pupils receive well-targeted support and achieve well. Attendance and behaviour are also positive, with disadvantaged pupils attending more often than peers nationally. Other areas are at expected standard, including achievement, curriculum and teaching, attendance and behaviour, and leadership and governance. Pupils achieve well at key stage 4, and disadvantaged pupils perform significantly above the national average for that group. Post-16 students reach outcomes close to national averages and progress to ambitious destinations. Pupils benefit from a broad curriculum, strong careers education and wide enrichment opportunities. Leaders have an accurate view of the school and governance is effective. The main areas for development concern consistency in teaching and expectations. In some subjects and year groups, teaching does not consistently deepen pupils’ thinking or promote spoken language as intended, and the 'Greenford High 5' approach is not embedded fully. Occasionally, staff do not uphold the highest expectations in the verbal and written work they accept, so some pupils do not produce the quality of work they are capable of. Leaders should address these inconsistencies so all pupils make consistently strong progress.
