The school is much larger than the average-sized primary school. There have been significant changes in staff and governors since the last inspection. The current headteacher took up post in September 2013 and the two deputy headteachers in January 2014. There has also been a change in the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Governing Body. The headteacher is a local leader in education (LLE). The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage. A very small proportion of pupils are from other ethnic backgrounds and cultural traditions or speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is much higher than average. The proportion of pupils eligible for support through pupil premium funding is high compared with the national average. This additional government funding is provided for those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those children who are looked after by the local authority. The school has two full-time Reception classes and two part-time Nursery classes. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectation for pupils’ achievement in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school works in partnership with the Maltby Mining Memorial Committee to promote pupils’ understanding of their local heritage. The school provides a breakfast club.
