The school is larger than the average-sized school. The large majority of students are of White British heritage and there is a low proportion of students who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of students known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional funding from the government for students from service families, looked after children and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is low. There are currently three students who are in the care of the local authority. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average; the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is broadly average. A very small number of students spend some of their time studying work-related courses at South Berkshire College. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for students’ progress and attainment.
