What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 February 2023
Eaton Valley Primary School is a happy, friendly place where pupils enjoy learning and finding out about the world around them. This is a school where every pupil is fully included in everything that the school has to offer. Pupils are safe in school. They know that the adults look after them. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They understand what bullying is. If bullying should happen, adults in school quickly make sure that it stops. Pupils learn about, understand, and celebrate difference. They show tolerance and understanding of others. Pupils and staff model the school mantra of 'all different; all equal'. Leaders, staff and governors want the very best for every pupil, and pupils live up to these high expectations. Leaders are keen for pupils to learn about resilience. Pupils talk confidently about how they use 'growth mindset' when learning is tricky. Leaders are continuing to develop the curriculum to ensure that it is ambitious for all pupils. Pupils relish the opportunities available to them in school. From voting for room names to applying for jobs within school or being on the school council, pupils are being well prepared for life both in West Bromwich and modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- In phonics, leaders have identified some opportunities to further develop staff expertise. However, some of these opportunities have yet to have the impact leaders intend. Leaders should continue to develop the expertise of all staff, including those who support older pupils who are at the earlier stages of learning to read, so that all pupils gain the phonics knowledge they need to become fluent readers.
- Leaders are continuing to develop their curriculum. In some subjects, senior leaders' strong vision is not yet fully understood by all teachers and subject leaders. As a result, teachers' understanding of how the curriculum is sequenced so that pupils build on what they learn is not yet fully embedded. Leaders should continue to ensure that all subject leaders and teachers understand how the curriculum is constructed, in order that they can enable pupils to know more and remember more, over time.
