School Description

The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. The school hosts specialist resourced provision for pupils with speech, language and communication difficulties. There are currently nine pupils who attend this provision. The proportion of pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium is well above the national average. The pupil premium is additional government funding to support those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is much higher than the national average. The large majority of pupils are of White British heritage. The remaining pupils are from a range of minority ethnic backgrounds. The number of pupils who speak English as an additional language is average. At the time of the inspection a very small number of pupils were receiving part of their education at the Turnaround Provision which serves primary schools in the local authority. It is based in Branksome Community Centre. The school meets the government’s floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. Provision in the early years is part time in Nursery and full time in Reception. The school has a breakfast club each day for pupils. There have been a number of staffing changes since the previous inspection. In the last year, a number of new leaders, including the headteacher, deputy headteacher and assistant headteacher, have been appointed to the school.
