Ofsted

Eaton Bray Academy is rated as a good school by ofsted.

In our most recent inspection Ofsted saw many of the strengths of our school:

“Leaders have high expectations of pupils and staff”

“The school’s work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is outstanding.”

“Pupils’ attitudes to learning are impressive. They are proud of their school and all that it offers them. One pupil referred to it as ‘inspiring’, while another commented how teachers ‘make learning fun’. They know they are genuinely cared for.”

“Teachers and teaching assistants have very good subject knowledge. This enables them to use questioning with pupils to challenge their thinking, develop their curiosity and deepen their understanding.”

“Teachers help pupils to develop a love of reading. Pupils enjoy the attractive library and the quality of reading material that is provided for them in classrooms. Pupils read with enthusiasm and expression appropriate to the subject matter of the text.”

“The needs of pupils with SEND are accurately identified and supported.”

“Staff have an in-depth understanding of pupils and their needs.”

“The teaching of early reading is very effective. Children are encouraged to link their knowledge of sounds and letters to their reading and writing. Children discuss reading with enthusiasm and compare authors. For example, an inspector heard children discussing Roald Dahl and William Shakespeare. This is far in excess of expectations of children in early years.”
