This is a larger than average-sized primary school. Children in the Reception classes attend full time. There are two classes in each year group. Three-fifths of the school’s population are from minority ethnic groups, and two-fifths speak English as an additional language. About two-fifths are White British, one-fifth from other White backgrounds, and nearly as many are mixed race. The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium is broadly in line with the national average. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils who are looked after by the local authority or known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average. The mobility rate (the proportion of pupils arriving other than at the usual point of entry) is high. Between July 2014 and the date of the inspection, 30 new pupils were admitted to the school, 26 of whom had had no previous schooling in the United Kingdom. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6. The school is part of an informal group of local schools that remain independent of one another but work cooperatively. The school runs a breakfast club two days a week and various before-school activities on two other days.
