Saint John’s Church of England Controlled First School is much smaller than the average-sized first school. Almost all of the pupils are White British and speak English as a first language. There are three classes. Reception children are taught in one class, Years 2 and 3 are taught as one class and Years 3 and 4 as another. Since the previous inspection, there have been considerable changes to staffing, including the appointment of the present headteacher in 2008. The number of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is well below average. There are none in some year groups. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is broadly average.
