This school is below average in size. Most pupils attending the school are of White British heritage. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported by school action is below average. The proportion supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above the national average. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (which provides additional funding for pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals) is below average. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught within a combined Reception and Years 1 and 2 class. The two other classes in the school are mixed-age classes. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. In January 2012, the school joined with Lamerton Church of England Primary School to form a federation of schools with one governing body. At the beginning of this autumn term, the headteacher of Gulworthy Primary School became an executive headteacher, sharing her duties equally across both schools.
