Kingswear Community Primary School is much smaller than most primary schools. There are currently three classes; until recently there were four. All children in the early years provision are full time. On the small site, the school operates split breaks and lunchtimes. The school has a daily breakfast club. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is below the national average. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium is below the national average. This is additional government funding for specific disadvantaged groups: those known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after. This represents about one in five pupils in the school. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The school meets the government’s floor targets, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school has been part of a federation with three other primary schools since 2012. The school is led by two co-executive headteachers. Plans are well-advanced for the school to join a multi-academy trust in early 2015. The other schools within the federation are already part of this trust.
