This school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Most pupils come from a White British background. About a third of the pupils come from a range of minority ethnic groups. A few pupils speak English as an additional language. Since the previous inspection the headteacher has left the school. An acting headteacher was appointed who left in October 2015. In November 2015, the headteacher of Widden School, Mr Tim Cooper, was appointed as executive headteacher of the two schools. Initially he worked almost exclusively at Moat Primary School but now he spends equal time at each school. There have been several changes of teaching staff and teaching assistants during the past three years. More than half of pupils are known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care). This proportion is well above average. The proportion of pupils who have an education, health and care plan is above the national average and the proportion who have special educational needs support is well above the national average. A high proportion of pupils start at the school after the early years foundation stage. The early years foundation stage is made up of one Reception class. Pupils in Year 1, 2 and 3 are taught in three single-age classes whilst pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 are taught in two mixed-age class. Next year the school leadership is planning that all pupils will be taught in single-age classes. The school has a daily breakfast club provided by the governing body. A private pre-school shares the school site. This was not part of the inspection and is subject to separate inspection and reporting arrangements. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which set minimum standards for attainment and progress. The school does not meet the requirements on the publication of information about the primary sport premium; it does not provide the details of a named member of staff for parents and carers to contact, Inspection report: Moat Primary School, 6–7 July 2016 7 of 9 nor does it state how people can find further details about the curriculum.
