About Eastergate CofE Primary School

Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 21.4 pupils per teacher. Eastergate CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
