Pupil numbers have risen in this average-sized school, because it took in an extra class of Reception children in September 2010. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage will be taught in a single Reception class this year but had not started at the time of the inspection. The majority of pupils are from a wide range of minority ethnic backgrounds although very few are at an early stage of learning English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average. Fewer pupils than average are identified as having special educational needs and/or disabilities, although the proportion with a statement for their special educational needs is well above average. Their needs are mostly associated with autistic spectrum disorder. The school has recently received the International Schools Award and achieved Healthy School status.
