The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. A little over one-third of pupils are from White British backgrounds with approximately one-fifth from other White backgrounds. The main languages spoken other than English are Kurdish, Latvian, Polish and Arabic, although in total the school supports 34 discrete language groups. Well over half of all pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds and speak English as an additional language. Early Years provision is part-time for Nursery children who attend either mornings or afternoon only. However, provision is full time for Reception children. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils, those supported by the pupil premium, is considerably higher than that seen nationally. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those children who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well-above average, and rising. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. A significant minority of pupils move into and out of the school between Years’ 1 and 6.
