This school is much larger than an average-sized primary school. In September 2011 the school took in an extra Reception class so that in the present Year 1 there are three classes. The majority of pupils come from a White British background. An increasing proportion of pupils come from minority ethnic groups. The proportion of pupils who start at the school speaking English as an additional language is above average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care) is average. In November 2011 the governing body took over the management of the pre-school which is located on the school site. This is subject to separate reporting and inspection arrangements, as is the children’s centre which is also located on the school site. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectation for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school does not make alternative provision for any pupils.
