Somercotes Infant and Nursery School is similar in size to most primary schools. Children attend the nursery on a part-time basis, either in the mornings or the afternoons. Reception children attend on a full-time basis and are taught in two classes. Pupils in Key Stage 1 are taught in four single-age classes. A breakfast club operates on this site. It is managed by the governing body and was observed during this inspection. Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium, which is additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and looked after children, is well above average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is well below average. Staffing has been unstable in the last three years. The headteacher was away from school at the time of the inspection. The assistant headteacher and the coordinator for special educational needs are temporarily in charge of leading and managing the school.
