School Description

This is a well above average-sized primary school. Almost all pupils are of White British family heritage. The proportion of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding is similar to the national proportion. (The pupil premium is additional funding for those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children that are looked after.) The proportion of pupils whose learning needs are supported through school action is well above average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus, or with a statement of special educational needs, is close to the national average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. There is nursery provision in the morning and in the afternoon. There are 14 other classes, two for each year group. The headteacher, after many years in post, will retire in August. Governors are in the preparatory stages of making a new appointment. The school has a before-school breakfast club. There is childcare provision in the adjoining Children’s Centre which is inspected separately and for which there are separate inspection reports.
