School Description

The school is larger than most primary schools and has increased in size considerably since the last inspection. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who are eligible for pupil premium funding is over a third. This is higher than found nationally. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is 15%. This is average. The school has a specially resourced provision for deaf pupils. This is a nine-place provision with seven pupils on roll at present. Most of the pupils use British Sign Language. Three pupils have additional learning difficulties. The pupils are integrated into mainstream classes for most of the time, supported by trained communicators. They also have specialist sessions with a deaf learning mentor and a teacher of the deaf, and speech and language therapy. A high proportion of pupils join and leave the school other than at the usual times, and the school’s high mobility has increased as the number on roll has grown bigger. Since the beginning of this term, 13 pupils have joined Year 2 and 10 have joined Year 3; slightly lower numbers have joined other year groups. Children attend the early years full time. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set minimum expectations for attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Several teachers have left and been replaced since the last inspection. The current early years team has been in place only since September this year following staff changes. Little Chestnuts Nursery, on the school site, is run by Kids Play Ltd, the company that also runs the afterschool care. As this provision is not managed by the school’s governing body, it is subject to separate inspection. The school runs a free breakfast club every morning.
