Town Junior School is slightly smaller than the average school of its type. Pupils are taught in two classes in each year group, from Year 3 to 6. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. The proportion of pupils from ethnic minority groups is around the average, and those whose first language is believed not to be English, well below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is well below average. The proportion supported through school action plus or through a statement of special educational needs is average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for pupil premium is below average. This funding is to support pupils in local authority care, known to be eligible for free school meals or from service families. Since the last inspection in January 2013, there has been significant senior-staff turbulence. The present headteacher is new to the school and took-up her post in September 2013. The school has two deputy headteachers who have been seconded from local schools. The school is being supported by the headteacher of Plantsbrook Secondary School, who is a national leader of education. This support extends to her full senior leadership team. An agreement is in place for Plantsbrook to sponsor the school within an Academies Trust, under one governing body. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
