What This School Does Well
East Acton Primary School excels at engaging parents in their children's learning and has made impressive improvements in reading, particularly in key stage 1. The school provides strong support for disadvantaged and most able pupils in reading and writing, and maintains a highly nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and take pride in their school.
Key Strengths
- Strong parental engagement with reading sessions and comprehension tasks at home
- Rapid progress in reading across the school, particularly in key stage 1
- Effective safeguarding with high-quality policies and strong staff awareness
- Good progress in writing in key stage 1 with ambitious vocabulary and sophisticated sentence structures
- Effective support for the most able pupils in reading and writing
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils in key stage 1 do not make the same progress in mathematics as in reading and writing - pupils are often moved on too quickly
- The most able mathematicians do not receive enough challenging opportunities to deepen their learning
- Attendance remains below the national average, particularly for pupils with special educational needs
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective. Staff and governors are committed to keeping pupils safe in a nurturing environment, with up-to-date policies, high-quality procedures, and strong staff vigilance demonstrated through referral rates.
East Acton Primary School continues to be good. The leadership team has maintained educational quality since the last inspection in 2013, with the headteacher's swift actions since September 2015 bringing improvements to teaching and learning.
