Green Oaks Primary Academy maintains the high standards established in its previous inspection, demonstrating effective leadership and a supportive environment for both staff and students. Pupils enjoy their learning experiences, engage well with the curriculum, and have access to a variety of extracurricular activities that enhance their development. The school has made significant strides in curriculum implementation and is attentive to the needs of pupils, particularly in the face of increasing numbers of students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in the early years, where some foundational skills and independence for children could be better developed. The school has received positive feedback for its ambitious curriculum and effective teaching strategies, particularly in mathematics and literacy. Furthermore, the school's involvement in the Greenwood Academies Trust provides valuable support and resources. Despite these strengths, concerns have been raised regarding the adequacy of support for pupils with SEND, as well as the level of independence fostered in early years settings. Overall, while Green Oaks Primary Academy performs well, addressing these areas will be crucial in sustaining its performance moving forward.
