This is a smaller than average sized school situated in a relatively advantaged area. Most pupils live in the immediate locality but about a third travels some distance to school often from isolated rural settings. The vast majority of pupils are of White British origin. A below average proportion of pupils have learning difficulties and/or disabilities. The birth rate is falling locally, which has resulted in fewer pupils than usual joining the school. Consequently, from September 2008 there are some mixed-age classes in school. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) comprises a Nursery and Reception class. Reception aged children are mixed with Year 1 pupils for some activities. The school possesses a Basic Skills Quality Mark and an Inclusion Quality Mark.
