Greentrees Primary School is Outstanding

On 23/24 April 2025, Ofsted carried out a routine inspection at Greentrees Primary School, near Salisbury.  We are all delighted that the inspection team found the school to be strongly Good for quality of education, and Outstanding in ALL other areas of the framework.  A huge well done and thank you to everyone working, learning and supporting at Greentrees for your hard work and dedication for the children over many years.
