This school is larger than the average-sized primary school. Pupils are organised in 21 classes, all of which are single-age groups. The school became an all-through primary school in September 2012. Since September 2014, there have been pupils in all age groups, with the majority of children joining the school in the Reception Year and Year 4. Previously, most pupils joined the school in Year 4. The very large majority of pupils have a White British background. All the children in the Early Years Foundation Stage (Reception classes) attend full time. The proportion of pupils eligible for the pupil premium is above average. This is additional government funding provided to give extra support to those pupils who are eligible for free school meals or children who are looked after. Currently, there are very few children on roll who are looked after. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is above average. The school provides care for pupils through the breakfast and after-school clubs. The school is part of a formal partnership with three other local schools. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress What does the school need to do to improve further? Improve teaching to outstanding levels by making sure that teachers: provide consistent challenge for all pupils in their learning activities so that the highest levels of achievement are reached provide better opportunities for pupils to practise and apply their skills in mathematics in order to deepen their understanding. Increase the effectiveness of leadership and management by checking systematically that the development of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural skills deepens pupils’ understanding and accelerates their preparation for life in modern Britain.
