What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
At Eldon Grove, each pupil's potential is recognised and celebrated. Leaders have a clear vision for excellence. Staff share this vision and are proud to be part of the team. A passion for high-quality education and the well-being of pupils is a priority for everyone working at the school. Pupils are well motivated and happy. Pupils know there is an adult they can turn to if they need help. Pupils are resilient, independent and work well together. They welcome those who are different from themselves. Bullying is rare. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop their character and contribute to their school community. The student parliament, 'house' system and sports leadership roles are valued by pupils. They are proud to represent their school in sporting fixtures, musical events and when visitors come into school. Parents and carers are positive about their children's experience at the school. One said, 'The children are at the heart of what they (the school) do'. The inspector agrees. In classrooms, pupils' behaviour and focus are exceptional. Staff skilfully lead discussions to develop pupils' understanding of each topic. Pupils listen attentively to staff and one another. Leaders at all levels know precisely what is required to ensure pupils achieve their best. Pupils are keen to succeed and do their best daily.
What the school should improve
- Improvements to the curriculum are still being embedded across the school. This limits the progress some pupils make over time. The school should ensure that the ambitious vocabulary and communication skills they intend pupils to develop are embedded so that pupils' progress continues to strengthen.
