Lympsham First School is situated in a small picturesque village between Weston-super-Mare and Burnham-on-Sea. It is much smaller than the average infant or primary school. It draws most of its pupils from the local area, but an increasing number comes from wider afield. There are only a few pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds attending the school. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from service families) is well below the national average. There are no looked after children or children of service personnel attending the school. The proportion of pupils supported at school action is above the national average. The proportion of pupils who are supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is low.
