There were too few pupils in last year’s National Curriculum tests for Year 6 to report on the government’s floor standards. These are the minimum standards for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. Following a long period of staff stability, the last year has seen a number of experienced staff leave the school. This included a highly experienced subject leader who left midway through the current academic year. A number of new staff have joined the school as a result. Pupils experience a monthly trip to the local woods to apply their learning outdoors. A new Chair of the Governing Body and vice chair took up their roles in September 2013.
