Wray Common is larger than the average-sized primary school. The school has grown significantly in size in response to the need to increase local school places. The school has three parallel classes in Years 2, 3 and 5. All other pupils are taught in two parallel classes in each year group. Pupils are taught in ability sets for mathematics in Year 5 and Year 6. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is below average. Few pupils speak English as an additional language. Children attend the Reception classes full time. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional funding to support children in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is approximately one fifth. This is below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is approximately one fifth. This is just above average. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics. The school runs a daily breakfast and after-school club, which is managed by the governing body. Since the previous inspection, there have been several changes in staffing, including the appointment of a new headteacher in September 2013. Interim arrangements to cover leadership roles before the appointment of the deputy headteacher and assistant headteachers in September 2014 were covered internally. Over half of the teaching staff have been appointed in the last 18 months.
