Pupil numbers are rising in this large primary school. A quarter of pupils are from a wide range of minority ethnic backgrounds, including a small number of Traveller children. Few pupils speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is above average as is the proportion with disabilities and those with special educational needs supported with additional help at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs. More pupils than in other primary schools join or leave other than at the usual times. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a Nursery and two Reception classes and pupils at Key Stage 2 are taught in six mixed-age classes. The school has received the Primary Quality Mark for Basic Skills teaching. The school meets the current floor standards, which set the government’s minimum expectations for attainment and progress. The headteacher has been appointed since the last inspection, as have several other members of staff. The school hosts a privately run after-school club. This provision is not managed by the governing body and as such is inspected separately.
