Kingsland Primary is a larger-than-average-sized special school for pupils aged 2 to 11 who have a wide range of SEN and/or disabilities. Most pupils are from White British backgrounds and approximately one fifth are from minority ethnic groups. Almost one fifth of pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for the pupil premium is much higher than that found nationally. All pupils have a statement of special educational needs or an EHC plan. At the time of its last inspection in November 2011, Kingsland Primary was an averagesized special school on the Aberford Road site in Stanley. There were 66 pupils on roll. Since this inspection, the number of pupils on roll has increased to 172, and the school now operates on two sites: the Stanley site and the Castleford site.
