The school changed it status from that of lower school to primary school in September 2013 and is currently taking an additional year group each year. It gained pupils in Year 5 this September and will expand again to its full capacity when Year 6 arrives next September. Its current size is above average for a primary school. The majority of the pupils are from minority ethnic groups. More than half the pupils speak English as an additional language, many arriving at school speaking no English. Pupils currently speak 27 languages. The proportion of pupils supported through the pupil premium (additional government funding available for certain groups, including those known to be entitled to free school meals, or who are in the care of the local authority) is very much higher than average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is broadly average. The proportion supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. Since the last inspection, a new deputy headteacher has been appointed, taking up her post in January 2012.
