Greenacres is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Children in the early years are taught in one part-time Nursery class and one full-time Reception class. Two-year-old children are taught in the Nursery class. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is well below average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium is well above the national average. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local authority. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs or disability is well above the national average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for attainment and progress. Over the past year there has been turbulence in staffing. The school runs a before- and after-school club for its own pupils four days a week. A very few pupils are taught through local authority alternative provision, on a part-time basis, at the Harlescott Tuition Centre. The school is part of the Severn Community Cooperative Learning Trust with other schools in the area. The school also works with the North Shropshire Teaching School Alliance.
