Eastcourt Independent School
Catchment Area, Reviews and Key Information

Pupils are proud to be part of Eastcourt Independent School. Their enjoyment of school is unmistakeable. Pupils’ attitudes are excellent and they lap up learning. They are highly motivated, keen, and aspirational for their future. Pupils work hard. They are respectful of others, treating everyone with consideration and warmth. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They live up to the high expectations of behaviour that teachers have of them. Day-to-day routines are so well embedded that teachers rarely have to remind pupils about how to behave. Staff promote an anti-bullying culture in the school. If bullying ever happens, leaders deal with it fairly and swiftly. Any issues are sorted out effectively by staff. Leaders set the tone of the school through their care and sensitivity. The highly positive atmosphere runs through the school, from lessons to play time and afterschool clubs. Parents and carers were positive about their children’s experiences of school. Pupils not only feel safe but are kept safe. Pupils study a wide range of subjects but they could be doing better in their learning. This is because the curriculum does not identify clearly what pupils need to know. This limits the depth of pupils’ learning in Years 1 to 6.
