Newick is a one-form entry, average size school in a rural location with spacious outdoor areas. Most pupils are local to the school, living in the village. The vast majority of pupils have White British heritage. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average. The number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is broadly average. These needs include behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Although the number of pupils leaving or joining the school other than at the normal time is low, a few go to private sector schools in Years 4 and 5 as they gain academic scholarships. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a Reception class. The school runs a breakfast club which was included within the remit of this inspection. There is also an after-school club on the site, which is not managed by the governing body and, therefore, was not part of this inspection. The school has links with a French school as the village is twinned with a French village. The school's awards include Artsmark Gold, Activemark and Silver Eco Award.
