XP East is currently performing at a level that requires improvement overall, indicating a need for further enhancements in their educational quality and management. The school has a strong focus on personal development and exceptional behaviour among pupils, which are notable strengths. However, the academic curriculum is not meeting the expectations, resulting in underachievement in external examinations. Recent initiatives have been introduced to address these gaps, but their effectiveness has yet to be realized fully.
