Eastcroft Park is a good school. Pupils thrive during their time at the school and become enthusiastic learners.
They are well prepared for the next stage in their education and become well-informed youngsters. The school has made good progress since the previous inspection. The overall effectiveness of the school is not outstanding because the quality of teaching is good rather then outstanding.
As a result of some variation in practice pupils' learning is not always at its best. Pupils achieve well in English and mathematics. Attainment in Year 6 has risen since the previous inspection and continues to rise.
Pupils who are disabled and those with special educational needs often make... outstanding progress. Teaching is good overall and there are several elements that are outstanding, for example the quality of teachers' planning and the marking of pupils' work. The richness of the curriculum motivates pupils very well.
For example, in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, learning through play means children fully enjoy lessons. Pupils' behaviour is good. They have a good understanding of how to stay safe and they report that bullying is rare.
It if happens, adults deal with it effectively. Parents and carers agree that the school is a safe and secure place. Staff effectively promote the well-being of pupils, particularly those whose circumstances make them potentially more vulnerable, exceptionally well.
The school is well led and managed. The headteacher provides outstanding leadership and has been highly effective in promoting high expectations and driving up the quality of teaching. The curriculum provides outstanding experiences for pupils.
A strong leadership team and governing body monitor the performance of the school well and this detailed self-evaluation has led to the rise in standards since the previous inspection.
