School Description

This very large primary school is situated within a residential area. The majority of pupils are White British but there is also a high proportion from minority ethnic heritages. A large proportion speak English as an additional language: there are 38 languages spoken at the school of which, apart from English, Polish, Rumanian and Turkish are the most prevalent. The school has a high number of pupils who join or leave other than at the usual times during the school year. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is above average. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is also above the national average and a few of these pupils have statements of special educational needs. After a period of stability over the last four years, there has been a significant turnover of staff recently including some staff absences due to ill health. The school is a growing community which is increasing its numbers on roll. The school has a pre-nursery class, a nursery and a breakfast club which are all run by the governing body and were part of this inspection. It also has a privatelymanaged after-school club and provides a variety of family learning opportunities through Hertfordshire Family Learning Partnership Services (HAFLS). In addition, the school hosts a variety of parenting courses for the wider community in conjunction with the local children's centre. It is also used after school and at weekends by a range of community groups, including a supplementary school to raise the achievement of black minority ethnic pupils, and ‘Noah's Ark’ which is a play scheme for children with disabilities.
