What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 June 2025

Leaders have a high ambition for all pupils at Edenthorpe Hall Primary Academy. They aim to ensure that pupils are prepared academically and personally for the next stage of their education. These ambitions are met for most pupils. Expectations around pupil engagement in lessons are clear. Adults support pupils to meet these high standards. Pupils enjoy the opportunities they get to share the knowledge they have gained with others. Pupils who have attended the school for the majority of their education learn effectively and achieve well in national tests. Those who join school later make strong progress from their starting points. Occasionally, these starting points are lower than those of their classmates and, when this is the case, these pupils do not achieve as highly in national tests. Behaviour in lessons and on the playgrounds is calm and orderly. Children in Reception are taught how to deal with any 'fallings out'. Bullying is rare. When it happens, it is dealt with well. Pupils show respect to each other, adults and their surroundings. In the woodland area, they enjoy climbing trees, exploring for bugs and caring for the school rabbit. Pupils enjoy attending school. They feel safe and well cared for.

What the school should improve

  • In mathematics, teachers sometimes provide pupils with work that is not matched well enough to their existing knowledge. As a result, some pupils struggle to understand what they are being taught and do not build their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils benefit consistently from work that helps to build on what they already know and can do.
