Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Eynesbury is a school that welcomes pupils 'from all faiths and none'. Pupils are proud that their school is part of a caring community. Pupils say that everyone has 'a right to believe in what they want, and to be who they want to be'.
Pupils get on well together. Playtimes are happy and pupils cooperate with each other in lessons. There are kind and caring relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils trust staff to help them when needed.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The curriculum has recently been redesigned. A few subjects are still being developed. This does not affect the high quality of the curriculum. It is well sequenced and starts in early years, where the essential knowledge and skills children need for future learning is well thought out. Children are prepared for Year 1 and beyond. Pupils continue to build their knowledge in a logical order as they progress through school. Teachers carry out effective checks on pupils' learning. They use this information to help pupils iron out any misconceptions. When pupils have a secure grasp of a concept, staff do not always push pupils on to their next steps soon enough. This holds pupils back sometimes.
Leaders use a range of strategies to identify the needs of pupils with SEND. Teachers adapt the curriculum well for these pupils. This ensures that pupils with SEND learn the same ambitious curriculum as their classmates.
