St John’s Church of England Academy converted to become an academy on 1 September 2012. When its predecessor school, St John’s Church of England Primary School, was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be good overall. This is a stand-alone academy. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6. The school is slightly smaller than the average-sized primary school, with one class in each year group, except for Reception, where there are two classes. Children in the early years (Reception classes) attend full-time. The proportion of pupils who are supported by the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children looked after) is average. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs is just above average. The proportion of pupils with a statement of special educational needs or education, health and care plan is above average. Almost all pupils are White British. The school runs and manages its own breakfast and after-school club.
