We were inspected on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th May 2026. There are no overall judgements made now, but each school is graded across the areas of Achievement, Attendance and Behaviour, Curriculum and Teaching, Early Years, Inclusion, Leadership and Governance and Personal Development and Well Being.
We were incredibly happy to receive the “Strong” standard across all of these areas. The Safeguarding element was MET. This reflects the high standards that we hold across school and the hard work of our staff team and school community to make the school and learning experiences rich and enjoyable for all of our children.
Some key features that were highlighted by the Inspectors across the visit were:
“All staff have high expectations of all pupils. This culture is embedded throughout the school.”
“Pupils behave brilliantly. They are kind, polite and confident.”
“The curriculum is broad, balanced and coherent. It helps children to build a deep bank of knowledge, skills and vocabulary.”
“The school’s early years provides a strong start for children. Children show a sense of awe and wonder when encountering new learning and vocabulary.”
“Pupils at East Boldon Infant School thrive under the staff’s nurturing, inclusive approach. Staff know every child well.”
“Leaders possess a granular understanding of each cohort of children. Governors have an accurate picture of the school.”
“Pupils love being a part of this school community. They are happy, polite and delightfully curious.”
“Pupils thrive here because staff have built a culture of care and praise.”
“Bullying does not happen here. Pupils treat each other with kindness. This is a value that defines the life at the school.”
