Otterhampton Primary School is much smaller than the average-sized primary school. Most pupils are White British. Children aged two and three attend part-time in a Nursery class. Children of Reception age attend fulltime in a class with Year 1 pupils. Compared to the national average the proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium funding is very low. The pupil premium is the funding the school receives for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. The typically small pupil cohorts vary in their make-up from year to year. Most have a higher proportion of boys compared to girls, but in 2015 this was reversed and the cohort was largely made up of girls. The school is part of the Quantock Group of schools that work in partnership together. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is above average. During term time the school provides before- and after-school care for pupils who attend the school through the provision of a breakfast club, and after-school clubs. Since the last inspection a number of new teachers have joined the school and the headteacher took up his post in September 2015. Half of the governors have joined the governing body during the last year.
