Davidson Primary School is a larger than average primary school. Pupils are from a wide range of minority ethnic backgrounds, the largest being from a White British, Black African and Caribbean heritage. Of these, almost half speak English as an additional language. This is above the national average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is broadly average. Just over one in three pupils receives support through pupil premium funding. This is well above the national average. The pupil premium is additional government funding given to schools for disadvantaged pupils who qualify for free school meals or for children who are looked after by the local authority. The Early Years Foundation Stage consists of two Reception classes. The school does not use any alternative provision. There have been significant changes to staffing since the previous inspection. This includes the headteacher, appointed in September 2013, and a deputy appointed in September 2015, who had previously been seconded on a part-time basis from a good school. There is a new Chair and Vice-Chair of the Governing Body. The school has recently been in discussions with the Department of Education with a view to becoming part of a multi-academy trust. The school was issued with a warning notice from the local authority, with concerns relating to low attainment and in the quality of leadership and management. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
