School Description

The school is a much smaller than the average-sized primary school. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a Reception class. There is one mixed-age class in Key Stage 1 and two mixed-age classes in Key Stage 2. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported at school action is similar to other schools. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus is below average. They have moderate learning difficulties. No pupils currently have a statement of special educational needs. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for the pupil premium is slightly above average. This is additional funding for children looked after by the local authority, pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those with a parent serving in the armed forces. In this school, all pupils supported by pupil premium are those known to be eligible for free school meals. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is well below the national average, and these pupils are confident English speakers. There is a private nursery on the school site, but this is not managed by the governors and is the subject of separate inspection arrangements. The school was placed in special measures in April 2012. Since then, the headteacher has been replaced by an interim headteacher and the governing body with an Interim Executive Board. The headteacher is initially contracted until August 2014 and the Interim Executive Board will continue until the school converts to an academy, which is expected to be at some point in 2014. Half the teaching staff have been replaced over the past year.
