This average-sized primary school is situated a short distance from the town centre. While a large majority of pupils are of White British heritage a few are from Traveller families or from different European backgrounds. Almost all pupils speak English competently. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well above average. Although the proportion of pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities is average overall, the proportion that has a statement of special educational needs is above average. The number of pupils who join or leave the school part-way through their primary education is high. The school has Healthy Schools status, the Basic Skills Quality Mark, the Dyslexia Quality Mark and has received the UNICEF Rights Respected award. School-managed breakfast- and afterschool clubs are available to pupils each day. The school shares its site with a number of organisations, including a children’s centre and a local authority support team for minority ethnic achievement, but none of this provision is managed by the school. The children’s centre will be inspected separately and the report will be available on the Ofsted website.
