School Description

The Cumberland School is a much larger-than-average mixed, non-selective school for pupils aged 11 to 16. When it was inspected in March 2013, it was judged to be good. Nearly four fifths of pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, with the largest groups from African heritage followed by those from Bangladeshi and Eastern European backgrounds. Nearly a quarter of pupils are from a White British background. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is very high. The pupil premium is government funding used to support pupils who are eligible for free school meals or who are looked after. Well over half of pupils speak English as an additional language, which is very high. The proportion of pupils who receive special educational needs support is well above average. The proportion with a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan is above average. The school has resourced provision for pupils with autism. Twelve pupils attend alternative provision for some of their lessons. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school meets the requirements for the publication of specified information on its website. The local authority has provided considerable support to the school over the past few years. The school works with a headteacher of an outstanding school in another part of London.
