D'Eyncourt Primary School

D'Eyncourt Primary School is a happy, safe and highly inclusive school where pupils are well cared for and feel a strong sense of belonging. Inspectors found extremely positive behaviour, effective attendance work and strong inclusion, with disadvantaged pupils, pupils with SEND and children known to social care supported well. Pupils benefit from a broad curriculum, strong pastoral care and a wide range of enrichment opportunities, and they are well prepared for life beyond school. The school achieves well overall, particularly in reading and writing at the end of key stage 2, and disadvantaged pupils perform very well compared with non-disadvantaged pupils nationally. Early reading and mathematics foundations are secure, and children in the early years are well taught and well prepared for Year 1. Leadership is clear and well supported by the Central Learning Partnership Trust, and parents and staff speak positively about the school. The main areas for improvement are that teachers' checks on understanding are not always precise enough, and higher-attaining pupils are not consistently extended to achieve highly. Leaders' improvement priorities could also sometimes be more tightly focused. Safeguarding standards are met.

Strengths

Areas for Improvement

• Teachers' checks on pupils' understanding are sometimes not precise enough to deepen and secure learning.
• Fewer pupils attain the higher standard at the end of key stage 2.
• Higher-attaining pupils are not consistently extended to achieve highly.
• School improvement priorities could sometimes be more tightly focused.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 0.3% of pupils at D'Eyncourt Primary School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 D'Eyncourt Primary School had 21.9 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 0.0% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 9.9% of pupils at D'Eyncourt Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 3.3% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

Academy figures include a share of the trust's central services, shared out by pupil numbers, and are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Premises costs were defined differently from 2024, so compare them across that gap with care.
