Oakfield Community Primary School is much larger than an average-sized primary school. The school is part of the Galaxy Federation, a federation of Oakfield Community Primary School and Temple Hill Primary School, both in Dartford. An executive headteacher has oversight of both schools, with a shared governing body. Some staff have responsibilities across both schools. The school has an ethnically diverse intake, although the large majority of pupils are of White British heritage. There is a very small group of pupils of Gypsy/Roma heritage. Around one in every five pupils is at an early stage of learning to speak English. At about one in every five, the proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above the national average. In September 2014, the school established a specialist resourced provision for pupils with autistic spectrum disorder with a potential capacity of 12 pupils. This provision is still at an early stage of development. It accommodates three pupils at present, all from the Reception year. The school meets the government’s current floor standards. These set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium is about one in every three pupils and is above the national average. This is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after. There are 22 classes. Nursery children in the Early Years Foundation Stage attend either a morning or an afternoon session. Reception children, all of whom attend full-time, are taught in three Reception classes. There are three classes in each year across the school. There is a children’s centre on the school site. This is managed and inspected separately. The school offers both a breakfast and an after-school care club as part of its extended provision. Both were reviewed as part of the inspection.
