Summerhill Primary School is larger than the average-sized primary school. Children attend the Nursery part-time and Reception class full-time. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is well above the national average with a range of ethnic backgrounds represented. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is broadly similar to that found nationally. The proportion of pupils who join the school at different times throughout the school year is slightly higher than average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for support through the pupil premium is much higher than the national average. This is additional funding for those known to be eligible for free school meals and children in care. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is higher than the national average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set minimum expectations for attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6. The governing body manages a breakfast club. The governing body manages The Little Treasures Children’s Centre. This is separately registered and did not form part of this inspection. Senior and subject leaders provide support to leadership and management teams in local schools. The school welcomes visitors from across England and from abroad to observe best practice in the use of assessment. Since the last inspection the school has expanded so that the early years’ provision and Key Stage 1 now have four classes in each. A new-build project has enabled the school to cope with the growing numbers. Several teaching and non-teaching staff have joined the school in the last two years.
