Although this school remains much smaller than most primary schools, the number on role has increased by almost 40 percent since the previous inspection. This means that more pupils than average join the school after the usual time of entry. Almost all pupils are White British and all have English as their main language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is very small. The percentage of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is similar to that in most primary schools. The school provides a breakfast club each morning. At the time of the last inspection, the school had just formed a federation with a local school, sharing its headteacher. This was disbanded after 18 months and the headteacher returned to his full-time commitment at Occold School. The school holds several awards including the middle level of the International Schools Award, and the Silver Eco award. It shares good practice locally in the teaching of French in primary schools.
