North Leigh Church of England School is smaller than the majority of primary schools. The school serves a predominantly White British community, with few minority ethnic groups represented. Most children who enter the Reception class have attended the voluntary pre-school located in the school grounds. There are no pupils at an early stage of learning to speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is broadly average. Most of these have moderate learning difficulties. However, the school has, in recent years, made provision for several pupils with profound learning needs. A low proportion of pupils are known to be eligible for free school meals. The pre-school and the before- and after-school provision on the school premises are all independently managed and are subject to separate inspection.
