The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. A Nursery run by the school opened for up to 60 part-time children in April 2013. More than two thirds of pupils come from a wide variety of minority ethnic backgrounds, which is well above average. A high proportion of pupils speak English as an additional language. An increasing number of pupils join the school speaking no English. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (which in this school provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals) is well above average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average. The proportion supported at school action plus, or with a statement of special educational needs, is also above average. Many more pupils than usual join and leave the school partway through their primary education. The school provides specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs in the form of a base for up to 10 pupils with behavioural difficulties. This is known as ‘The Zone’. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics.
