What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 June 2024

Pupils at Ebor Gardens make exceptional progress and achieve high levels of success from their varied starting points. Each adult is an excellent role model for the pupils that they support. Adults inspire pupils to be hopeful and ambitious for their futures. The school has established a vision, focused on success, building confidence and contributing positively to society. Staff consistently model these attributes. This motivates everyone in the school to do the same. Ebor Gardens Primary Academy is the heart of its community. This vibrant and welcoming school is a very happy place to learn. There are no limits placed on pupils' personal and academic development. The school's curriculum helps pupils to secure a deep knowledge of each subject that they study. A large number of pupils join the school in year groups beyond the early years. This means that they have less time to benefit from the ambitious curriculum that is in place. Nonetheless, these pupils are exceptionally well supported to make significant strides in their achievement during their time at the school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Adults apply their high expectations of behaviour and routines consistently, including in early years. This sets the foundation for pupils' exceptional attitudes to their learning throughout the school. Leaders have shaped a school culture that celebrates the diverse community that the school serves. Pupils treat everyone around them with the utmost respect.
