Waterhouses is a much smaller than the average sized primary school. Pupils are taught in three classes, a Nursery/Reception class, a Year 1/2 class and a Year 3/4 class. At the moment there are no Year 5 or Year 6 pupils on roll due to parents choosing to transfer their children at the end of Year 4 to the middle school in the area. It is anticipated that some current Year 4 pupils will remain in the school until the end of Year 6. Almost all pupils are from White British Backgrounds. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average. The proportion at school action plus or with a statement of special educational need is below average. These proportions vary considerably in different year groups. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is below average. The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children that are looked after. Again, the proportion varies across different year groups, with no such pupils in some year groups. The government floor standard, which sets out the minimum expectations for attainment and progress, is not applicable to this school as there were no Year 6 pupils last year. The school has experienced some instability in staffing in the past year.
