This is a smaller-than-average primary school. The vast majority of pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (the extra government funding for pupils looked after by the local authority and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported at school action is below average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also below average. Pupils are taught in four classes. Reception children are taught as one year group. Other year groups are taught in three mixed-age classes: Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Together with St. Benet’s Roman Catholic Primary School in Beccles, the school forms The Federation of Catholic Schools of the Waveney Valley. The executive headteacher has not been at school since November 2013. An acting executive headteacher was appointed in April 2014. In the intervening period, the federation’s deputy headteacher, assisted by an experienced headteacher one day a week, fulfilled these duties. The deputy headteacher joined the school part-time in January 2014 and full-time at Easter 2014. Three of the four classes have teachers new to the school this academic year.
