This school is much smaller than the average primary school. It ‘federated’ with New York Primary School, six miles away, in 2010. A new joint governing body was formed and an executive headteacher appointed, after a period of instability. The school is also in a ‘collaboration’ of several other primary schools in the area. Most year groups have fewer than seven pupils. Pupils are taught in two classes: Class 1 for children in Reception and pupils in Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2), and Class 2 for pupils in Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6). About a third of the pupils travel from outside the local area to attend the school. A much higher proportion of pupils than is typical join or leave partway through their primary school education. Pupils often arrive in Year 5 or Year 6. A higher proportion of pupils than average speak English as an additional language. About a quarter of the pupils, an average figure, are from minority ethnic groups, mostly of Eastern European heritage. Most of these pupils arrive speaking little or no English. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium is below the national average. This is additional funding to help certain groups of pupils, and in this school only applies to pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported at school action or school action plus is below average. Currently, none of the pupils have a statement of special educational needs. There are too few pupils in Year 6 to make a valid comparison against the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
