This is a larger-than-average junior school, with four classes in each year group. The vast majority of pupils are from White British backgrounds. Other pupils come from a wide range of ethnicities. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is above average. In addition, the school includes a resourced provision for pupils with complex communication needs, which caters for up to 16 pupils in two rooms. This is run by the staff at the school and is known in school as ‘the base’. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is average. The pupil premium funding provided by the government is used to support the progress and attainment of these pupils. These pupils include those eligible for free school meals and children looked after by the local authority. Most pupils come from the adjacent infant school. At the time of the inspection, there were two trainee teachers in the school, as part of their training. These student teachers were not observed as part of the inspection. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ progress and attainment in reading, writing and mathematics. The headteacher is a local leader in education.
