School Description

This is a much smaller than the average-sized primary school. Pupils are taught in three classes. Reception and Year 1 are taught together in Class 1. Class 2 comprises pupils within Years 2 and 3. Pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6 are taught within Class 3. The school has a higher than usual number of pupils who join at times other than the beginning of the school year; for example, sixteen, just under a fifth of the current roll, have joined classes throughout the school during this school year. The size of year groups varies from seven to 19 pupils. All children within the early years provision attend full-time. Nearly all the pupils are of White British heritage. Every pupil speaks English as their first language. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium, is broadly similar to that found nationally. This funding provides additional support for pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above that national average. Since the last inspection there has been considerable turbulence in the school leadership. There have been two new headteachers and three executive headteachers who took over at different times when one headteacher left due to ill health. The current headteacher took up her post in September 2014. The Chair of the Governing Body took up her role in April 2014 and several new members of the governing body have been recruited since then. The school reduced to three classes in September 2012 but is due to increase to four classes in September 2015, following building work. This is because of the expansion in numbers for some age groups. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum requirements for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6.
