What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 October 2022

Pupils said that they feel incredibly welcome at Eastway Primary School. This includes all pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils explained that the school is a caring and supportive learning community. Pupils said that staff know them well. A strong sense of family spirit permeates the school. Pupils are eager and happy to be in school. They value the nurturing support that staff provide. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. They promote pupils' personal and academic development equally well. Children in early years get off to a strong start. By the end of key stage 2, most pupils achieve well. Pupils are polite and respectful towards each other and to adults. There is a calm atmosphere in school. Pupils behave well in lessons and outside on the playground. Pupils were clear that if bullying happens, adults will sort it out quickly. Staff ensure that pupils' mental health and well-being are at the forefront of their work. For example, leaders create breakout spaces, which pupils use when they need time to reflect. This helps pupils to be ready to learn in lessons. Pupils spoke enthusiastically to inspectors about the school's therapy dog, Mr Stu Cockapoo, and how he helps them with any worries.

What the school should improve

  • In one or two subjects, leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking. On occasions, this prevents teachers from delivering some aspects of the curriculum in the most logical order. Leaders must set out all the knowledge that they wish pupils to learn in these remaining subjects.
  • A minority of pupils do not read as fluently as they could. This hinders their comprehension of words and texts. Leaders must ensure that these pupils have sufficient opportunity to develop their fluency in reading, alongside their phonic knowledge.
