Ellistown Community Primary School continues to perform well, maintaining its good status since its last inspection in 2017. The school is characterized by a strong sense of community, with students expressing pride in their school and parents showing high levels of support. The leadership is committed to ensuring every child achieves their potential, particularly in reading and mathematics, where the implementation of new curricula has shown positive results, including in phonics and basic math skills. However, the school faces challenges in ensuring that all learning sequences and resources fully support pupils' progress in all areas, particularly in design technology and reading materials.
