The school is larger than most other primary schools. Over a third of the pupils in school are from British Asian backgrounds and around a quarter are White British. A wide range of other ethnic backgrounds and cultural traditions are also represented among the pupils and families the school serves. About two thirds of pupils speak English at home, with fourteen other home languages represented. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is above average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is average. The proportion of pupils eligible for support through pupil-premium funding is below average. This additional government funding is provided for those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those children who are looked after by the local authority. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ achievement in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school is currently working with support from Elmridge Primary School, which is a National Teaching School. The last inspection report noted that there had been an extended period when significant numbers of staff, at all levels, joined or left the school. Further changes in the teaching staff took place during the last school year. All of the resulting staffing vacancies are now filled, including the appointment of a new senior teacher in Key Stage 2.
