This school is of an average size, with one class in each year group and two classes in Reception. The school is currently expanding to eventually include two classes per year group. This will include new buildings which are in the process of being planned. Most pupils are White British. Other pupils come from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have educational needs is average. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is about half the national average. In 2014 there were too few disadvantaged pupils in Year 6 to comment in detail on their achievement without them being identified. The school is a National Support School. The headteacher is a national leader of education (NLE). She supports a number of schools in challenging circumstances. She also works with the local authority to provide training and support for headteachers who are new to their roles. The school works with the University of Winchester to train teachers through the Schools Direct scheme. It is also part of a British Council international project, ‘Connecting Classrooms’. This is a cluster of six schools, three in Salisbury and three in Zambia, which work together developing pupils’ learning and teachers’ expertise. In 2014, the school met the floor standards set by the government. These are the minimum expectations for the attainment and progress of pupils in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6.
