The school is much larger than the average-sized primary school. The majority of pupils are from a White British background. A larger than average proportion are from minority ethnic backgrounds. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is above average. A higher-than-average proportion of pupils leave or join the school partway through their primary school education. Fewer pupils than average are known to be eligible for free school meals and the pupil premium (additional government funding). However, the proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals has risen sharply in recent years. The proportions of pupils supported at school action, school action plus, or with a statement of special educational needs are broadly average. Breakfast and after-school clubs operate on the school site but are not managed by the governing body. This means that they are subject to separate inspection. The latest results for pupils at the end of Year 6 in 2012 indicate that the school meets the current government floor standards (which set the minimum standards and progress pupils should make).
