The Eaglewood School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

This school absolutely enacts its vision for pupils to aspire, thrive and belong. Ambition is high for pupils in terms of their academic and emotional development. Many achieve well in relation to their starting points. Pupils are supported to be confident and resilient learners. There are high expectations set for pupils' behaviour. Pupils live up to these high expectations and behave well. Staff support pupils with their emotional regulation in a calm and gentle way. This means that pupils know exactly what is expected of them. They feel safe and well supported. Pupils receive warm greetings at the start of the school day. They value their familiar routines and the strong relationships they have with the kind and nurturing staff team. Many pupils at this school have experienced a disrupted education in the past. Pupils have highly positive attitudes about attending school. This is because they have a strong sense of belonging and are set up well for future success. The school show 'Eaglewood's Got Talent' encapsulates the strength of the school's commitment to pupils' personal development. Pupils show exceptional levels of empathy in the way they support each other to perform with pride and confidence. There is a shared sense of joy about pupils' achievements.

What the school should improve

• Pupils' academic learning needs and next steps are not always precisely identified. This means that pupils do not always receive the focused support that they need. The school should ensure that information about pupils' academic next steps is clearly identified and used to shape appropriate support and interventions.
