School Description

This is a much larger than average-sized junior school. There are six classes in each year group. Since the previous inspection, the school has changed considerably. In September 2012, it became a junior instead of a middle school, now admitting pupils from Year 3 to Year 6. At the same time, pupil numbers increased by 20%. Associated with this have been a considerable number of staff changes, especially at leadership level. The current headteacher and deputy headteacher have taken up post since the previous inspection. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is below the national average. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is well below average, as is the proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils eligible for the additional funding known as the pupil premium is below average, although it has more than doubled since the previous inspection. This funding is to provide extra support for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and to children who are looked after. The school provides before and after school and holiday care called ‘Superstars’. This was inspected separately two years ago. In conjunction with a local provider, the school provides teacher training. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics.

“The best school I have experienced in the last 15 years!”

"> After having our eldest child attend this school a few years ago, we thought we knew what to expect when our younger child started this year 2015 following a 7 year gap. They were rated outstanding then and are rated good now with a new headmaster. That said, I think they are a much better school now, they seem to genuinely care about all the children not just the gifted ones. It's more fun, without losing the discipline or respect! The new hall is very impressive there has been significant changes to the equipment the children can access outside. There are far more after school clubs, and the school now offers hot meals (very good ones too). The teacher we currently have in year 3 is without doubt the best we've experienced so far for any for our children, even though I initially doubted her because of her age.....how wrong was I.....don't judge a book by its cover! My child is the happiest I have ever seen him, I'm so glad we got a place here. I'm praying that my daughter gets a place in 2017 fingers crossed
