This is a larger-than-average-sized primary school. One in 11 pupils are known to be eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding which supports pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, looked-after children or children of service families). In this school, all the eligible pupils are those entitled to free school meals. One in 15 pupils are disabled or have special educational needs and are supported by school action. This proportion is below average. One in 25 of the school’s pupils are supported at school action plus or have a statement of special educational needs, which is also a below-average proportion. Three quarters of pupils belong to ethnic groups other than White British and almost half the pupils do not have English as a first language. In 2013, the school met the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. During the inspection an acting headteacher and acting deputy headteacher were in post. A substantive headteacher has been appointed and is due to start in January 2014.
