This two-form entry school is smaller than an average-sized school. The Early Years Foundation Stage comprises two Reception classes. There is also an on-site Children’s Centre. This is managed by an external provider and is inspected separately. Since the last inspection, the school has entered into a formal collaboration with its partner junior school in preparation for the hard federation of both schools from September 2012. A new executive headteacher, previously headteacher of the infant school, was appointed in September 2010. The school has developed the Early Years Foundation Stage outdoor learning area since the previous inspection. The largest group of pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils who are from minority ethnic heritages is well below average. There are no pupils who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well below average. The school has achieved Healthy School status and ECO (Silver) awards.
