Ardleigh Green is larger than most infant schools. Most of the pupils who attend come from the immediate locality. The large majority are from White British backgrounds. Few pupils come from homes where English is not the first language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average as is the proportion identified as having special educational needs and/or disabilities. Many of these pupils have speech, language and communication difficulties. The school shares its site with the neighbouring junior school, with which it has established a family centre, in partnership with the local college. The school has won a large number of awards in recent years, including the Basic Skills Quality Mark and Healthy Schools status.
