Church Eaton Primary School is currently facing challenges with the quality of education it provides, as indicated by the recent inspection. Although this is the school's first inspection under the Education Act 2005, there are notable strengths, especially in the areas of behaviour, attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, all of which have received positive ratings. The headteacher has started to implement necessary changes to improve outcomes for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, significant weaknesses in the curriculum delivery have led to gaps in pupils' knowledge, which are a cause for concern.
