In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year.

Competition for places is real here - 78% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (37 first choices for 29 places). Overall pupil absence was 7.1%. There are about 20.0 pupils per teacher. Outwood Primary Academy Greenhill does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
