Walderslade is a smaller-than-average-sized primary school. The proportion of pupils who are disadvantaged, that is, eligible for additional funding from the pupil premium, is below average. This is funding for pupils eligible for free school meals and those looked after by the local education authority. As there were fewer than five Year 6 pupils eligible last year for funding, their progress is not reported. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is below average. Since the last inspection, there have been changes in leadership. An executive headteacher temporarily managed the school during the prolonged absence of the previous headteacher. The present headteacher started in April 2014 and the deputy headteacher in September 2014. The school fell short of meeting the government’s floor standards last year. These set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress at the end of Year 6. The early years provision consists of the school’s Nursery and Reception classes. Children attend part time in the Nursery and full time in the Reception class. The school has a breakfast club which was included in this inspection. There have been changes in teaching staff since the last inspection.
