What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils are very happy to belong to Eastoft Church of England Primary School. There are high expectations for their learning and behaviour. Relationships between pupils and adults are positive. Adults and pupils stop to chat as they meet each other around the school. Pupils are supportive of one another in classrooms. They learn to develop their independence from an early age. Bullying is very rare. Adults help pupils if they have any concerns. Pupils are sensitive to the needs of others. They recognise the need to respect differences. Pupils know how to keep safe when using the internet. Leaders are ambitious for what pupils can achieve. They have made a number of improvements since the last inspection. For example, the new reading programme has helped to improve standards in early reading. The school environment is warm and welcoming. Classroom displays provide pupils with a range of useful information. Pupils enjoy taking part in visits to a range of interesting places. For example, the whole-school visit to a science adventure centre helped pupils to extend their learning in science. There is a range of activities for pupils to enjoy in the after- school club. Pupils enjoy experiences such as cooking, table tennis and dodgeball.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum plans do not ensure that pupils in mixed-aged classes build on what they learned during the previous school year. This means that the standards pupils reach are not as high as they might be. The school should ensure that curriculum plans identify the knowledge pupils of different ages should learn each year so they can build on what they know and can do.
