The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. Approximately one half of all pupils are disadvantaged. This is much higher than the national average. The proportion of pupils with SEND is higher than that seen nationally. Pupils who speak English as an additional language make up approximately one quarter of all pupils. The school provides a daily breakfast club. The school’s governance is provided by the advisory board, which includes members of the academy trust. The early years provision provides for children of Nursery age, who attend for morning or afternoon sessions, and for children of Reception age, who attend full-time. Currently, there is no provision for two-year-olds.
