Eton Porny CofE First School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 April 2024

Throughout the school, there is a real sense that everyone wants to be here. All are excited to be thinking and learning together. Pupils follow the clear routines with enthusiasm. They are keen to show their learning or talk to adults about what they are going to learn next. They rise to the high expectations established in the school and achieve well. Part of the ambition for all is seen in the careful way pupils' wider learning is developed. The school is determined that all pupils develop a rich appreciation of the world around them. Pupils enjoy these experiences, from the big school trips to the seaside to smaller events where groups routinely check the river levels as they think about the environment. Pupils are proud to be part of the school. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the difference it has made to their children. Pupils are supported exceptionally well to grow in confidence and to know that they are valued for who they are. The school motto 'there is only one you' sums up the focus of this happy school.

What the school should improve

• In some areas, pupils' work does not demonstrate the same high standards that are seen in most of the curriculum. Where this happens, it is harder for pupils to use previous work to build on and learn from. The school should ensure that its high standards are maintained across the whole curriculum.
