Evelyn Street Primary Academy and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

This is an exceptional school where pupils make the best possible start to their education. This stems from the high levels of ambition that the school has for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are taught the importance of resilience. They embody this through the way in which they approach their learning. Many pupils, including those with SEND, achieve extremely well across the curriculum. Pupils meet the school's high expectations of behaviour with ease. They treat one another with genuine care, respect and understanding. Children begin to learn the importance of these qualities from the moment that they join the early years. Pupils behave impeccably and learning is rarely interrupted. Pupils respect that the school regularly seeks their views on how the school could be even better. For example, reading ambassadors help to choose the new books that enrich the school library. Pupils appreciate the way in which the school listens to and acts on their views. This helps them to feel valued and happy at school. Pupils are highly enthusiastic about the broad range of clubs that they have access to. These include robotics, animation and coding. The school ensures that many pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, benefit from these clubs. This supports pupils to develop their talents and interests.
