Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Easton CofE Primary School creates a welcoming, inclusive community where pupils feel safe and valued. The school has strong pastoral support and well-behaved pupils who show respect and kindness to each other. Staff are particularly skilled at supporting children learning English as an additional language and those with special educational needs.

Key Strengths

  • Strong pastoral support helps pupils settle and manage challenges
  • Pupils behave well with respect and kindness towards each other
  • Effective phonics teaching and children's love of reading
  • Early years provision is good and pupils are well prepared for their next steps
  • Staff effectively support pupils with SEND and those learning English as an additional language

Areas for Improvement

  • Pupils' written work does not consistently show what they know and can do
  • Curriculum changes are not yet embedded and curriculum is not broad enough
  • Too many pupils beyond early years cannot read well enough
  • Assessment checks on learning are not made consistently
  • School has been too slow to take action to improve the curriculum

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective with robust systems in place to keep pupils safe.

Extracurricular Activities

University partnerships to raise aspirations, trips and visitor programmes, reading activities focused on diverse representation

Easton CofE Primary School is a diverse, inclusive school where pupils feel safe and behave well, but the quality of education requires improvement as pupils are not achieving well enough in their written work and the curriculum is still being developed.
