The school is much smaller than the average-sized primary school, although there are more pupils than at the time of the last inspection. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals or looked after by the local authority, for whom the school receives additional income (the pupil premium) is well below average. The proportion of disabled pupils, those with a statement of special educational needs or those who need extra support at school action or school action plus is well below that of other schools nationally. They mostly have specific learning difficulties. The majority of pupils are White British and the proportions from minority ethnic families and/or who speak English as an additional language are very low. The headteacher has supported a local school as an executive headteacher and is a lead inspector for Ofsted. The school is part of the Activate network, which seeks to improve education through research. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress, although there are usually not enough pupils in Year 6 to make such comparisons statistically meaningful.
