Weston Coyney Junior School is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The school became part of the Weston Federation, together with Weston Heights Infant School, in September 2015. The two schools share the same governing body and executive headteacher. Each school is led on a day-to-day basis by a head of school. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who are supported by the pupil premium funding is above average. The pupil premium provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. Most pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is below average. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or disability is above the national average. The school provides before- and after-school clubs for its pupils. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics for pupils in Year 6. There have been several changes of leadership and staff since the last inspection. The previous headteacher left in 2014. The deputy headteacher became the acting headteacher until he left in July 2015. He was supported during this time by a consultant headteacher and by a national leader of education, the headteacher of Belgrave St Bartholomew’s Academy. The head of school took up his post in September 2015 when the school became part of the Weston Federation; and at the same time a new deputy headteacher joined the school. Five teachers left the school in 2015. Weston Coyney Junior School is working with the Britannia Teaching School Alliance and receives support from specialist leaders in education.
