Eureka Primary School continues to perform well, maintaining its status as a good school. The community-feeling fostered among students and staff creates a supportive environment where pupils feel safe and enjoy attending. The school has established strong relationships, promotes high expectations, and offers a broad curriculum, with effective support for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs. However, the inspection highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in the teaching of mathematics in key stage 2, where pupils' understanding and performance are not meeting expectations as consistently as in other subjects.
