This is a much larger than average-size primary school. Most pupils are of White British background. A small number are from mixed and other heritages. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The proportion of pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium funding is below average. The pupil premium is additional funding given to schools by the government to support pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and those children who are looked after by the local authority. Roseacre Nursery is on the same site as the school. It is run independently and is subject to its own inspection. There is an Early Years Care Club on the school site, which provides care for pupils up to the age of seven between 7.30am till 8.40am. It is run independently and subject to its own inspection. The school runs and manages an after-school care club from 3.15pm till 5.45pm daily. The school meets the government’s current floor standard, which is the minimum expectation for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. A new headteacher took up post in January 2014. She and other senior staff provide support for other schools. Roseacre converted to become an academy school in October 2012. When its predecessor school, Roseacre Primary was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be good.
