The percentage of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding, which in this school provides additional government funding for those known to be eligible for free school meals, is broadly average. A below average percentage of pupils are supported through school action. The school is enhanced with resources to support children with communication and interaction difficulties. An above average percentage of pupils join the school from other schools, often for short spells of time, to take advantage of the expertise of the staff of the enhanced resource. The number of pupils at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs varies. It depends on the number of pupils joining the school for extra support with communication and interaction difficulties. The proportion is usually above the national average.
