Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This school excels at inspiring pupils to achieve their very best through outstanding teaching and high expectations. Teachers ask probing questions that help children think deeply about their learning, and pupils leave exceptionally well-prepared for secondary school. The school creates a supportive, nurturing environment where all children - including the most disadvantaged - make rapid progress and develop into thoughtful, articulate young people.

Key Strengths

  • Outstanding teaching across key stages 1 and 2 with pupils of all abilities routinely challenged to achieve their best
  • Pupils make rapid progress from their starting points, with key stage 2 progress significantly above the national average for four consecutive years
  • Exemplary pupil behaviour with high expectations for both conduct and learning
  • Rich and stimulating curriculum that develops pupils as well-rounded individuals
  • Effective support for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs, who make good or better progress

Areas for Improvement

  • Ensure pupils are challenged to apply mathematical knowledge and skills in science and topic work
  • Strengthen the quality of children's learning in the early years to match the high standards found in the rest of the school
  • Improve early years assessment procedures to fully account for what children already know and can do

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with regular staff training on risks including radicalisation and neglect, quick referrals to external agencies for vulnerable pupils, and thorough recruitment checks.

Extracurricular Activities

Debating club, brass band, photography club, swimming, gymnastics, field trips

Earlsfield Primary School is an outstanding school where the headteacher provides inspirational leadership and all staff share high aspirations. Pupils flourish both academically and personally, with consistently strong results and exemplary behaviour.
