The school is smaller than most primary schools. Numbers have increased since the previous inspection. Classes up to Year 4 are now taught in single-age groups with only pupils in Years 5 and 6 taught in a mixed-aged class. Nearly a third of pupils join or leave the school between key stages. There is specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs. This consists of a Speech and Language Unit in the school with 20 places for children aged 4 to11 from other parts of the county. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is below average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or through a statement of special educational needs is nearly three times higher than the national average. Pupils’ needs relate mainly to moderate learning difficulties, behaviour, and emotional and social difficulties, with the highest proportion having speech, language and communication difficulties. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds and the vast majority speak English as their first language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is above average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
