School Description

This school is very much smaller than the average-sized primary school. It is situated in a remote rural location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Almost all pupils are White British. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils, those eligible for support through the pupil premium, is well below average. There are too few disadvantaged pupils currently in school, or who have taken the national tests for seven and 11 year olds in recent years, to comment upon their achievement without identifying them. (The pupil premium is additional funding for those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority). The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well above average. However, there are too few such pupils currently in school, or who have taken the national tests in recent years, to comment upon their achievement without identifying them. There are too few children currently in the early years provision, or who have been in the provision in recent years, to comment upon their achievement without identifying them. There are after-school clubs run by school staff. There are two classes: Reception and Year 2; Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. There are currently no pupils in Year 1. The headteacher has been in post since January 2011 on a half time basis. He is also headteacher of Rookhope Primary School on a similar basis. The two schools are separate and independent of one another. In his absence, the school is led and managed by the deputy headteacher who is in school on a six sessions out of 10 basis. She is also one of two teachers of the class for pupils in Reception and Key Stage 1. In the last school year the deputy headteacher was on maternity leave. In the current school year, the substantive teacher for the early years provision and Key Stage 1 is on maternity leave. The government’s current floor standards do not apply to this school. The school has achieved a Healthy Schools award.
