What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 March 2024

Eastwood Village Primary school is a school that celebrates the diversity of its pupils and community. The school provides a safe and welcoming environment. Pupils are cheerful and enjoy coming to school. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those from the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. There are high expectations that all pupils will achieve well. The school responds well to the challenges related to many pupils arriving newly to the country or for whom English is an additional language. Pupils' behaviour is calm and courteous. Pupils respond well to the school's expectations for how to behave and treat others. The school is a calm and orderly environment where pupils play and learn well together. Relationships in school are founded on mutual respect. Pupils benefit from the school's exceptional personal development offer. They thrive in a wide range of roles of responsibility. They are proud to take on jobs and contribute positively to the school. 'Language ambassadors' use their ability to speak different languages in providing helpful translation services.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the component knowledge they want pupils to learn and remember. As a result, pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge that they could. Leaders should ensure that they continue to develop sequences of planned learning that identify component knowledge with greater precision so that pupils learn equally well in all subjects.
  • The school sometimes does not identify pupils' next steps in learning. As a result, some pupils experience work that is too hard or too easy. This limits the amount of progress that some pupils make. The school must provide support for teachers to ensure that pupils' next steps in learning are accurately identified.
