East Point Academy has maintained its status as a good school, highlighting its commitment to providing a strong educational experience for all pupils. The ambitious curriculum is well-sequenced, ensuring that students build their knowledge incrementally. Despite this success, the school is facing challenges in achieving consistent embedding of curriculum plans across all subjects, particularly in languages, which has hindered some students' progress. Nevertheless, the leadership, supported by the trust, is actively working to enhance teaching and learning, especially in areas related to the English Baccalaureate.
