This is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or disability is above the national average. The number of disadvantaged pupils, those eligible for support through pupil premium funding, is below average. Pupil premium funding is additional government funding for pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals, for pupils looked after by the local authority and for children of service families. Most pupils are of White British heritage. Children in the early years attend full-time provision in Reception and on a part-time basis in Nursery. The school has four mixed classes. They comprise Nursery and Reception, Years 1 and 2, Years 3 and 4, and Years 5 and 6. The executive headteacher holds the same position at Thornhill Primary School. Due to the small number of pupils in each class, the school is exempt from having to meet the government’s floor standards. These are the minimum standards and rates of progress in reading, writing and mathematics of pupils in key stage 2. There is a breakfast and after-school club on-site which is run by the governing body.
