This is a small school. It serves the local area, but with some pupils coming from further afield. The overall proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is below average, as is the proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals. Nearly all of the pupils are White British, with a very small number coming from a mixture of other ethnic backgrounds. The school runs four classes with four teachers in the morning and three classes with three teachers in the afternoon sessions. This is set up in the following way: the Early Years Foundation Stage children work in a class with Year 1 pupils throughout the day; the Year 2 pupils work as a separate class for literacy and numeracy in the morning as do the Year 3 and 4 pupils, in the afternoon sessions pupils in Years 2, 3 and 4 combine as one class; pupils in Years 5 and 6 work as one class throughout the day. The school runs a ‘Breakfast Club’. In addition, working jointly with other local schools it runs an ‘After School Club’. The school rents out some of its accommodation to the Pre-School Group. The school has an acting headteacher, who was initially appointed to cover the longterm sickness of the substantive headteacher. This interim measure has been sustained by the governing body to cover the current phase in which they are seeking federation with two other schools.
