Heytesbury is much smaller than the average-sized primary school, with three classes. Nearly all the pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs who are supported at school action plus, or who have a statement of special educational needs, is below average, with needs relating mainly to behaviour, social and emotional difficulties. The school meets the current floor standard, which sets the government’s minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The Early Years Foundation Stage provides for Reception-aged children. There is private pre-school provision on the school site, but as this is not managed by the governing body, it was not part of this inspection. The school has achieved the Healthy Schools Award. The current acting headteacher has been in post since January 2012.
