This smaller than average-sized primary school serves a village to the east of Chester. The great majority of pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is low. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is broadly average, but the proportion with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The school meets the current floor standard expected by the government for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. It holds many awards including Artsmark gold, Sing Up silver, Active Mark and International school, and has gained quality marks for Inclusion and Basic Skills. The headteacher was appointed in January 2011, after acting in post for one term. In September 2011 the new role of deputy headteacher was established, with the responsibilities shared between two senior teachers. In the same month two new teachers joined the school. A privately run nursery shares the school site. This did not form part of this inspection but a report of its quality can be found on the Ofsted website.
