Welcome to the website of Greenside Primary School. At Greenside Primary School, we work together to achieve the highest standards for every child, to support them to fulfil their potential and develop skills for life. We have high expectations and ensure children receive high quality teaching in a happy, safe, secure and respectful environment.
We work hard to be at the heart of the community we serve and support our children to BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE, through the promotion of our values of RESPECT, RESILIENCE and RESPONSIBILITY.
We were delighted to have been judged to be OUTSTANDING overall and also in all areas in our Ofsted inspection in January 2024, following on from the outstanding judgement received in our previous inspection, and we will continue to work hard to maintain these standards.
