The school is a very small, rural school serving the villages of Studham and Whipsnade and a wide area around it. The overwhelming majority of pupils are of white British heritage and no pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium is around 10%, which is below average. The pupil premium provides additional funding for pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is about 8%, which is below the national average. Pupils are taught full-time in a Reception class, and in two other mixed-age classes, one class for Years 1 and 2 and the other for Years 3 and 4. The school has recently entered into a collaboration arrangement with two other local lower schools and the middle school which most of the pupils move to. Together they form the Priory Partnership for Learning. The schools’ governing bodies remain separate.
