Dear parent(s)/carer(s),

                                    Please find attached a link to our OFSTED report from the inspection on the 20th & 21st January 2026. We are really pleased with the outcomes and we strongly believe that the findings of the inspection team, backed up by the overwhelming evidence from the parental survey, demonstrate that Eastcroft Park is a vibrant and nurturing environment to send your children. Many thanks to all those parents who took the time to respond to the survey, and without whose inputs and efforts on a daily basis, we would be unable to achieve the outcomes that we do.

Achieving the expected standard in all other areas and ‘needs attention’ in ‘Attendance’ represents a really successful outcome that can only be achieved with the hard work of all staff and pupils, supported by you as parents. We will strive to continue to improve our attendance data in order to try to improve this area as well.

Below is a link & QR code to the inspection report. If you request a paper copy at the school office, we can provide you with one.

Many thanks in advance for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Withey
