St James and Ebrington Church of England Primary School demonstrates a strong overall performance, with pupils achieving well in reading, writing, and mathematics, in line with national averages. The school provides a safe environment, where safeguarding practices are effectively upheld, and most students are well prepared for subsequent educational steps. While the school has made notable improvements in attendance and behavior, particularly for disadvantaged pupils, there remain challenges in fluency in writing due to issues with letter formation and pencil grip, which leaders are working to address. Additionally, the school has successfully managed the early years provision, ensuring that children transition smoothly into primary education.
