The school is much smaller than most other primary schools. The school has received support from local authority consultants and locally based leaders of education since the previous inspection. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. There are no pupils at an early stage of learning English as an additional language. About one fifth of pupils are traveller children from Romany or Gypsy backgrounds. About one tenth of pupils are the children of Ministry of Defence armed service personnel based at MOD Stafford. More pupils than is usually the case join or leave the school outside the normal times. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium is below average. In this school, this additional funding mainly supports the children of armed service personnel, and those children in the care of the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. A before- and after-school club, ‘Chill Out of School Club’, operates on the school site. This provision is managed by the governing body and was observed as part of this inspection. During the inspection, most Year 6 pupils were in the Isle of Man on a residential visit and temporary arrangements were in place in Year 4 to cover the absence of the teacher who accompanied them.
