Easington Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 May 2025

Pupils learn to become 'world ready' during their time at Easington Academy. In line with the school's aims, pupils develop into well rounded citizens who respect others. Pupils enjoy coming to school. One pupil captured the culture of care and support when they stated that the school 'is like a big family'. Alongside the caring and supportive nature of the school is an ambition that all pupils will achieve well. The school has high expectations for the academic achievement of all pupils. Pupils rise to this expectation and achieve well. Pupils behave well at the school. Classrooms are calm and purposeful learning environments. Pupils play an active part in their learning. The school encourages a positive climate through a well-structured rewards system. Pupils proudly wear their 'IMPACT' badges to demonstrate that they have consistently displayed the positive values of interactions, manners, preparation, aspiration, curiosity and tolerance. Through the school's exceptional personal development programme, pupils develop a deep understanding of fundamental British values. Pupils learn to respect and understand a range of different people, faiths and beliefs. As a result, pupils play their part to ensure that everyone is welcome at the school.

What the school should improve

• On occasion, teachers spend too much time scaffolding learning and do not move pupils on to independent tasks as quickly as they could. This means that some pupils do not secure their understanding of the curriculum as swiftly as others. The school should ensure that, when appropriate, pupils benefit from opportunities to independently apply their learning.
