The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. Pupils are taught in 11 classes. Some of these consist of pupils from two year groups. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds who speak English as an additional language is high. Pupils from the Traveller community form a significant group on the school’s roll. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or children looked after by the local authority) is high. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is above average, including those who have statements of special educational needs or education, health and care plans. A large number of pupils join the school late each year from abroad or leave the school before the end of Year 6. The school runs its own breakfast club and after-school club. In 2015, the school did not meet the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The school meets requirements on the publication of specified information on its website. There have been many changes of staff since the previous inspection, including at a senior level. At the time of the inspection, four classes were being taught by temporary teachers. The headteacher is leaving at the end of the academic year and there are interim proposals to cover the headship for the autumn term. There are plans for the school to become an academy sponsored by the Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust in 2017.
