Prestwood is larger than most infant schools. Most pupils are of White British heritage and a very small percentage speaks English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is much lower than average; these pupils' needs are related to speech, language and communication and specific learning difficulties. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is also much lower than average. Early Years Foundation Stage provision is in two Reception classes. There is also pre-school provision which, since April 2010, has been integrated into the main school and is now managed by the governing body. The school has received a number of national awards in recent years recognising achievements in information and communication technology (ICT), physical education and music.
