This school is much larger than the average-sized primary school. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported through the pupil premium is well above average. The pupil premium is additional funding for those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those children who are looked after by the local authority. The large majority of pupils are White British. Most pupils speak English as their first language. The proportion of disabled students and those who have special educational needs is average. The school does not meet the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school has not met these standards during the past two years. The school runs a unit called the DSP (Designated Specialist Provision) which provides for up to six pupils from the local authority with special educational needs in speech and language. There are six pupils on roll. The school has achieved Elkan Communication Friendly Status and Makaton Friendly Status. These are awards for communication using sign and symbols that help pupils with speech impairments to communicate. Children in the early years receive part-time education in the Nursery and full-time education in Reception. A new building opened for Nursery and the associated High Crags Two Year Old Unit in June 2015. The governing body provides childcare for 20 children at the High Crags Two Year Old Unit which is based on the school site. This provision does not form part of this inspection as it has recently been inspected under sections 49 and 50 of the Childcare Act 2006. The inspection report can be found at http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report/provider/CARE/EY331042 Since the previous inspection, there have been a number of changes in staffing and leadership. An executive headteacher was appointed in April 2015 and supports the school for three days each week. The local authority will review this arrangement in September 2015 when a new headteacher will take up post. Two new subject leaders for mathematics have recently been appointed as has an assistant headteacher with responsibility for early years and Key Stage 1. The school receives support from a national leader in education and staff from Iqra Academy to support the school’s analysis of the quality of teaching and pupil progress.
