Description of the school
This smaller than average primary school serves a socially mixed population where the percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals is very low compared with the national average. Children attend a variety of nursery provisions before entering the school’s Early Years Foundation Stage at the age of 4. Most pupils are of White British heritage but 22% are from a variety of minority ethnic groups and 7% speak English as an additional language. The school has an integrated resource for ten pupils with statements of special educational needs relating to physical difficulties and complex medical needs, but currently only three of these places have been taken. The percentage of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is below the national average but the proportion of pupils with statements is well above the national average. The school has been awarded the Healthy Schools Award and the Standard for Financial Management in schools.
