On behalf of the children, staff and Governors, I’d like to welcome you to Easington Church of England Primary School website.
We are a school which believes in the value of every child and adult who enters our school. As such we want all those who become part of our school community, whether a child or an adult, to feel valued, happy, respected and to recognise their role in continuing to make our school the best we can make it.
We value the broad and balanced curriculum which our school offers and all children are able to access not only academic, but creative and physical areas of the National Curriculum fully, so that they receive the highest standard of education.
If the information you require is not shown on these pages, please contact the school and we will do our best to help.
Mr John Appleby
Head Teacher
We strive to strengthen our relationships with others as part of God's family. We are a place of distinctive excellence where all are valued as individuals. We achieve this by involving our children in a lively and relevant curriculum.
Muddy boots, big smiles, unforgettable memories 🌧️🔥
Our Year 3/4 residential at Grinton Lodge was packed with walks, bushcraft, laughter and friendships that grew stronger in ALL the weathers!
As always, staff are incredibly proud of the children’s kindness, resilience ...and exemplary behaviour.
Happy ❤️ Healthy ❤️ Fulfilled ❤️
What a beautiful setting we are in! Look at that view ☺️☺️☺️
All fresh after a good nights sleep and a lovely breakfast. Ready to start our walk with an ice cream stop on the way 🍦
Grinton Day 1 with our wonderful Year 3 and 4 children. An afternoon of bushcraft followed by an awesome tea and a campfire.
All having a great experience, roll on bed time 😂 💤
Dear Families,
I am delighted to share with you the outcome of our recent Ofsted Section 5 inspection that took place on 17th and 18th March 2026.
This report reflects the exceptional work taking place across our school every day, and I am incredibly proud that the inspectors ...recognised the strength of our provision, the dedication and hard work of our staff and our wonderful, unique children. We are especially delighted with achieving five Strong Standard grades which is a fantastic achievement when compared to other schools both locally and nationally.
The report highlights many aspects of our school that we value deeply. Most importantly, it recognises that our pupils feel happy, safe, are well cared for, and are thriving both academically and personally.
While this is a moment of celebration, it is also a moment of thanks. Our success is a shared success. Thank you for the trust you place in us, for the support you give your children, and for the partnership you maintain with the school. It is this collaboration between home and school that enables our pupils to flourish.
We will continue to build on this strong foundation with the same ambition and commitment that brought us to this point.
The report is a wonderful confirmation of our journey so far, and it motivates us even further as we look ahead to the future.
I hope you enjoy reading the report and feel as proud of our school community as I do.
Best wishes,
Mr Appleby, staff and Governors
