Strengths
- “Eckington Junior School has a real sense of community.”
- “Staff, parents and carers, and pupils all talk about the school being a family.”
- “One staff member typically stated: ‘I love this school as it feels a little like your own family.”
To improve
- “While pupils are tolerant and understanding of difference, a few pupils are not aware of the significance of British values to them or have a broad understanding of differing faiths and cultures.”
- “This means they are not as prepared as they could be to live in modern Britain.”
