East Park Primary School is considerably larger than the average-sized primary school. Approximately 60% of the pupils are White British and about 40% are from minority ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or disability is below the national average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils at the school is above the national average. The term ‘disadvantaged pupils’ is used to describe those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. These pupils receive additional support from pupil premium funding. In 2014, the school met the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ progress and attainment in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The unvalidated results for 2015 indicate that the school will meet the 2015 floor standards. The school offers morning or afternoon early years provision for Nursery-age children and full-time early years provision for Reception-age children. The school has specialist resource-based provision for who are deaf. Currently, 20 pupils attend this unit. A small number of pupils attend alternative provision at the Kingston Referral Unit and at a non-registered provider called Re-Entry. The school provides before- and after-school care on the school site. This was checked during this inspection. In January 2016, a new headteacher and deputy headteacher started at the school. Prior to this, the school had been led for one term by an acting headteacher (the previous deputy headteacher) following the retirement of the previous permanent headteacher in July 2015. The school is currently receiving support from a national leader in education who is the executive headteacher of Manor Primary School.
