Horton Grange Primary School is much larger than the average-sized primary school. The vast majority of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils, those supported through the pupil premium, is higher than the national average. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is above the national average. There is a much larger proportion of pupils than is usual who enter and leave the school at other times than at the start and end of the school year. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics, by the end of Year 6. The school provides before- and after-school clubs and a range of extra tuition sessions. There are links with pre-school provision on site. This provision for two-year-old children was registered with Ofsted in April 2014. This child care is inspected separately by Ofsted. Early years provision is part time for Nursery and full time for Reception. The executive headteacher leads two schools: Horton Grange and Copthorne Primary School in Bradford.
