Ringsfield Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School is much smaller than the average-sized primary school. The school is part of a hard federation with Brampton Primary School. The schools are led by the executive headteacher, who has been in post for almost three years, and each school has its own head of school. There is a single governing body for the federation. Most pupils are of White British heritage. There are no pupils who speak English as an additional language. Children attend the early years provision in a part-time Nursery class and a full-time Reception class. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average. A broadly average proportion of pupils are disadvantaged and supported by the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals. There is a pre-school, open in the afternoons, on the school site. This is privately run, and inspected and reported on separately. The school is too small for the government’s current floor standards to apply; these set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6.
