Hob Green Primary School is an average-sized primary school. Nearly all pupils are from White British backgrounds. A well-above-average proportion of pupils are known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children in local authority care, and other groups. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average in comparison with other schools. The proportion supported at school action plus and with a statement of special educational needs is well above average. The number of statements is high. The school manages a ‘Speech and Language Unit’ unit, a specially resourced provision for pupils with educational needs, for the local authority for 12 pupils in Years 3 to 6 with speech, language and communication difficulties. A breakfast club runs every morning and is managed by the governing body. The number of pupils who join the school intermittently throughout the school is well above average; these are mainly pupils who start in the speech and language class in Year 3. In 2012, the school met the current floor standards set by the government at that time (the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress) and all three targets in 2013. The children’s centre located at the school was inspected in 2012 and has a separate report.
