This school is a below average-sized primary school. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of disabled pupils or those with special educational needs supported by school action is above average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is broadly average. Only a very small number of pupils is supported by the pupil premium. This is additional government funding provided to give extra support to those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and to children who are looked after. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set out the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. At the end of the summer term 2013 the school joined a management partnership with the two primary schools in the South-West School’s Federation. This school retained its own governing body, with the executive headteacher of the federation becoming the part-time acting executive headteacher of this school. Currently, the part-time acting executive headeacher leads this school for three days each week with another part-time acting assistant headteacher providing leadership for one day each week. The remaining one day’s leadership is currently provided by a senior teacher. A full-time head of teaching and learning has been appointed, commencing next term, to assist the executive headteacher in leading the school.
