A Peterborough primary school has been given a positive Ofsted report following a recent inspection.

Inspectors, who visited Eyrescroft Primary School in June, marked the school as ‘Expected Standard’ in all areas.

These areas were Achievement, Attendance and Behaviour, Curriculum and Teaching, Early Years, Inclusion, Leadership and Governance, Personal Development and Wellbeing.

The report noted: “Pupils feel safe, cared for and valued. They build trusting relationships with staff and know there is always an adult they can turn to when they need help. Pupils describe their school as 'a friendly place where we all get along'. They enjoy coming to school and attend regularly. Staff are always pleased to see them.

"Children in the early years make a positive start to their education. They quickly learn routines, meet staff’s high expectations and develop the confidence to try new things. Many children make rapid progress from their starting points. They are well prepared for future learning in Year 1.

"Pupils benefit from staff’s detailed understanding of their individual needs and circumstances. Many pupils face barriers to learning and/or wellbeing. Staff work closely with families to provide the support that pupils need. This helps pupils to engage successfully in school life. As a result, most pupils are ready to learn and achieve well from their starting points.
