School Description

Alverton is larger than the average-sized primary school. The school is currently being led by an executive headteacher, who also leads another local primary school. This arrangement has been in place since September 2013, due to the long-term absence of the headteacher. The school undertook an extensive restructuring of leadership roles and responsibilities, including at senior level, at the start of this academic year. The school is a member of the Penwith Education Trust made up of 18 local primary and secondary schools. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in Nursery and Reception classes. There are one and a half classes in each year group. Some pupils in Years 1 and 2 are taught together, as are some in Years 3 and 4 and some in Years 5 and 6. All other pupils in Key Stages 1 and 2 are taught, for the majority of their lessons, in single-year classes. Pupils in Years 5 and 6 are taught in ability groups for literacy and numeracy. Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds and speak English as their first language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs assessed as at school action is average. The proportion of those who need more extra support, assessed as at school action plus, or who have a statement of special educational needs, is also average. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for additional government funding, known as the pupil premium, is average. In this school this funding supports pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority. In 2013, the school met the government’s floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. A very small number of pupils are educated either full or part time at another school. The school operates a breakfast club for pupils, which was inspected as part of this inspection. A privately managed nursery is located within the school grounds but is inspected separately.
