We are delighted to be able to share with you the report from our most recent Ofsted Inspection that took place on 24th April 2024. The inspection found that Eton Porny C of E First School continues to be a good school.
Maggie Waller, our Chair of Governors commented: “This inspection was a Section 8 inspection, which aims to confirm an already good school’s continued performance. Therefore, the report is much shorter in length than our previous full Section 5 inspection report back in October 2018. The governors are incredibly proud of the passion and commitment of the whole staff team, and are delighted to see the high aspirations and standards reflected in the report. It is also worth noting that the verbal feedback from the inspectors to governors and senior leaders regularly referred to the school as exceptional, and reinforced our many continued strengths that are not written about in this more focused, shorter written feedback.”
The full report can be accessed below, but some of the highlights include;
'Throughout the school, there is a real sense that everyone wants to be here.'
'Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary.'
'Pupils’ wider development is a strength of the school.'
'[Pupils] rise to the high expectations established in the school and achieve well.'
'Staff make sure that learning is skilfully adapted as is needed to ensure that all pupils can succeed.'
'Pupils are supported exceptionally well to grow in confidence and to know that they are valued for who they are.'
'Alongside knowledge of pupils, staff have expert subject knowledge.'
'Across the school, pupils work with determination and enthusiasm. They listen carefully and set to their tasks with calm focus, following the example of the adults in the school.'
'Leaders are knowledgeable. They carry out their responsibilities carefully, ensuring that all are aware of the purpose and activities and that learning comes from all they do.'
