Areas for Improvement
- Inconsistent teaching and curriculum implementation, particularly in mathematics and wider curriculum subjects
- Phonics teaching lacks consistency due to staff not having sufficient subject knowledge
- Assessment practices not developed enough - staff do not clearly understand what pupils have learned
- Support for pupils with SEND is not consistently targeted and precise enough
- Tasks given to pupils do not always focus on the most important content to learn
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with staff addressing issues consistently and pupils feeling safe and confident in the school.
Extracurricular Activities
Brighton Fringe Festival, clubs, trips and experiences, breakfast and after-school wraparound club
Eastbrook Primary Academy is an inclusive and vibrant school community where pupils feel supported and cared for. However, teaching is inconsistent across the school, and pupils do not learn as well as they should in most year groups beyond Reception.
