The Coombes Church of England Primary School is much larger than the average primary school. Children in the Nursery attend on a part-time basis. Few pupils are known to be disadvantaged and eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after). The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is below the national average. Few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or disability is below average. The school meets the current government’s floor standard, which sets out minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress by the end of Year 6. There has been no permanent headteacher for two years. The deputy headteacher has worked with several interim headteachers to lead the school. Currently, a consultant headteacher from Whiteknights Primary School is providing significant support to the school. This support is due to end in July 2016. The deputy headteacher is acting headteacher. The school does not meet requirements on the publication of information about the curriculum and governance structures on its website.
