High View Primary School is larger than the average sized primary school. It was formed in September 2009 by the amalgamation of two primary schools in Efford, a suburb of Plymouth. The school is located in an area that is undergoing significant regeneration. A new school site was opened in February 2011, after a period in one of the old school buildings. Most pupils are of White British origin and very few speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well above average. The proportion of pupils currently identified with special educational needs and/or disabilities is well above average. Pupils' special educational needs include moderate learning difficulties, specific learning needs and behavioural, social and emotional difficulties. The governing body provides and has responsibility for a breakfast club, and this was included in this inspection. An independently run nursery is located on the site and did not feature as part of this inspection. It will be subject to a separate inspection. The Early Years Foundation Stage provision includes a Nursery that takes children both full- and part-time. The school has recently achieved the 'I Can' Award for developing pupils' speaking and listening skills.
