The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. Children attend Nursery part time and Reception full time. The large majority of pupils come from a range of different minority ethnic backgrounds. Of these, the largest group, at around a fifth, consists of Indian pupils. About a quarter of the pupils are White British. About half of the pupils speak English as an additional language. This is a well above average proportion. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported through the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or looked after by the local authority) is well above average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is above average. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school runs a breakfast club before school each morning. This is managed by the governing body and was observed during the inspection. The school is now supported by a new senior leadership team from St Martin’s Multi-Academy Trust. The school was judged to require special measures when it was last inspected in July 2013. Since that time, it has had five monitoring inspection visits from Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI). Since the school was last inspected, there have been many changes in staffing: the headteacher left the school in December 2014 and an acting headteacher was appointed at the end of April 2015, the acting headteacher was replaced by an interim executive headteacher the senior leadership team has been replaced a number of teachers with key responsibilities have left the school or relinquished their responsibilities the governing body has been replaced five teachers are temporary supply teachers.
