This is an average-sized primary school. The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils supported through the pupil premium is well above average. The pupil premium is additional funding based on the number of pupils in local authority care, from service families and those known to be eligible for free school meals. An above average proportion of pupils has additional needs that are supported through school action. The proportion that is supported at action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are the minimum standards expected for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school has specially resourced provision for hearing impaired pupils, with six pupils currently accessing this. The pupils spend much of their time in mainstream lessons. When the school was last inspected in March 2012, it was judged inadequate and given a Notice to Improve. Significant improvement was required in leadership and management, including aspects of governance. The school received a one-day monitoring visit by HMI in December 2012 to check on its progress.
