Simon de Senlis is larger than the average-sized primary school. Pupils are taught in two classes in each year group, from Reception to Year 6. The large majority of pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is broadly average. The proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is slightly below average. There is a specially resourced provision for seven pupils with special educational needs. They have speech and language difficulties and moderate learning difficulties. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is slightly above average. The proportion supported through school action plus or a statement of special educational needs is also slightly above average. The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium is below average. This funding is to support pupils in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals. Recently, there have been high levels of pupil mobility into Year 5 and Year 6. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
