School Description

Elmhurst School is larger than the average-sized primary school. The school applied for academy status in March 2018 with a request to join the REAch2 Academy Trust. The proportion of pupils who enter or leave the school during Years 1 to 6 is well above the national average. From September 2018, the school is being overseen by an interim head of school and a part-time interim executive headteacher. The interim executive headteacher is also the substantive headteacher of another local primary school. Over the past two years, the school has undergone a period of turbulence with interim leaders undertaking the roles of headteacher and deputy headteacher to cover the maternity absences of senior leaders. A large proportion of pupils come from a range of minority ethnic groups. Many pupils Inspection report: Elmhurst School, 9–10 October 2018 Page 11 of 14 are British children of Pakistani heritage. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is much larger than the national average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is above average. The proportion of pupils with SEND is in line with the national average. The proportion of pupils with an education, health and care plan is well above average. A very small number of pupils attend the Pathways Pupil Referral Unit for part of the week. The proportion of pupils who join or leave the school during the year is well above average. The early years provision consists of two full-time Reception classes, two part-time Nursery classes and a part-time class for two-year-olds. The school was supported until the start of this academic year by Buckinghamshire Learning Trust, the company commissioned by the local authority to provide support for schools. The school is now being supported by a representative of the local authority.
