St Edmund’s Primary School is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Pupils are mainly taught in three mixed-age classes: that is, a Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 class; a Year 3 and Year 4 class and a Year 5 and Year 6 class. The school has been in a federation with Mendham Primary School since May 2013. The schools are led by an executive headteacher and are governed by a single governing body. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is similar to other schools nationally. This is additional funding to support pupils, including those known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress.
