What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 April 2025

This inclusive school has high ambitions for everyone. Pupils are challenged to do their best and supported with the help they need to succeed. This school supports pupils to feel happy, secure and successful. It also ensures they are well prepared for secondary school. Whatever their starting points or needs, most pupils make strong progress with their learning and achieve very well. The school also does much to give pupils a healthy outlook on education and life. For instance, the East Park 'eight values', which include responsibility, determination and leadership, are woven into school life and build pupils' feelings of self-worth. Staff also help pupils to see the merit of daily acts of kindness. Pupils respond very well to this. This shows in their positive and respectful behaviour. Importantly, the school is a safe place where staff put children's safety and interests first. In addition to lessons, there is lots going on for pupils. Many clubs before and after school offer pupils a wide range of different activities. These enhance classroom learning and introduce pupils to new things. Indeed, the school does much to develop and celebrate everyone's talents and interests and to raise aspirations.

What the school should improve

  • Assessment in a few foundation subjects is not as focused as it could be on what pupils need to know. This means that it does not support pupils to embed and use key knowledge as well as it might. The school should refine aspects of assessment to help pupils remember and connect important content in all foundation subjects.
  • Some pupils are absent from school too often. This hinders their learning and achievement. The school should continue to work with families and professional services so that any unnecessary persistent absence reduces.
