Sandcross Primary School and Nursery is a much larger than average-sized primary school. There is an above average proportion of pupils who are supported through school action, school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is above average. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a morning or afternoon Nursery class and in two Reception classes. Pupils in the Nursery to Year 2 are currently being taught in a separate building half a mile away. There has been considerable ongoing building work, so that all pupils can be taught on the same site in the near future. There is high inward mobility of pupils, with significant groups of children joining the school other than at the usual times in the Nursery, Reception and Year 3 classes. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
