In 2008, Ofsted said:
“The excellent links with primary schools not only
help pupils settle when they join year 7, but also
mean teachers know what pupils have learned
before so that they do not repeat work.”

And they were equally impressed with:
“the pupils’ good behaviour, enthusiasm and
enjoyment of school life.”

In summary:
“Greendown Community School is a good school.
Summer 2008: GCSE results rise to a new high It has several outstanding features.”

“We are delighted to report another improvement in
our GCSE results this year and we want to share our Our DVD Prospectus and the full
success with parents and primary school children at our Ofsted 2008 report are available
open evenings. We look forward to meeting you.” at www.greendown.swindon.sch.uk
