This is an average-sized primary school. The school has grown in pupil numbers by a quarter during the last three years. Just under a third of pupils are supported by the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and children who looked after). This is above average. The proportion of pupils who are disabled or have special educational needs is broadly average. Just over half of pupils are from minority ethnic groups. A large proportion of these are from Pakistani families. Just over a third do not speak English as their first language. The school meets the government’s floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics. The headteacher and her deputy give leadership support to local schools. The English leader is a local authority moderator for writing. The special educational needs coordinator leads a local group of leaders of this provision. The current headteacher was appointed in September 2012. In the last two years, there has been a large turnover of staff and changes in senior and middle leadership. Two teachers new to the profession were appointed in September 2013. There have also been changes to the governing body.
