Eastington Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2022

Pupils behave very well at this school. They respect each other and staff. They take pride in everything that they do. Pupils make a highly positive contribution to the life of the school. Pupils actively support the well-being of other pupils. Pupils in Year 6 support and play with younger pupils at breaktime. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They know that staff deal with it swiftly if it does occur. Leaders have high expectations, and pupils follow them without question. As a result, this is a happy and harmonious school. Everyone feels part of a productive team. Leaders encourage pupils to eat healthily, do physical exercise and take care of their mental health. For example, on the day of the inspection, all key stage 2 pupils played in a tag rugby tournament. The after-school clubs available to pupils support leaders' ambitions further. Pupils enjoy attending them. Older pupils understand their different stages of growth, and how they are affected by them. They have a mature understanding of equality and diversity. They know about protected characteristics within the Equality Act 2010. They understand fundamental British values, and why they are important.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, expectations of what pupils are capable of are not high enough. Where this is the case, pupils are not challenged sufficiently to develop their subject knowledge. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum, in all subjects, is suitably ambitious.
