This school is much smaller than the average-sized primary school. The number of pupils in each year group varies considerably. There are four classes and, with the exception of the Reception class, pupils are taught full time in mixed-age classes. The vast majority of the pupils are of White British heritage. In 2014, the school met the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. An above average proportion of pupils are eligible for the pupil premium funding. This additional government funding is used to support pupils who are known to be entitled to free school meals or who are looked after. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is over twice the national average. A very large proportion of pupils join and leave the school at different times during the year. The headteacher is also the headteacher of another local small school and divides her time equally between the two schools. There is a formal partnership through a federation within which there is shared subject coordination and joint training and events.
