St Saviour’s Primary School is a larger-than-average-sized primary school. Most pupils come from a wide range of minority ethnic backgrounds, but most speak English fluently and very few are at the early stages of learning English. One third of the pupils are known to be eligible for extra funding provided for looked after children and pupils eligible for free school meals (pupil premium). This is above the national average. The proportions of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs who are supported through school action and those who are supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs are above average. The school exceeds the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. The school runs a breakfast and after-school club for its pupils. In September 2011 the school entered a hard federation with St Mary’s Church of England Primary School and the schools have one governing body and an executive head teacher. The schools also share two deputy headteachers, one assistant headteacher and a middle leadership team. From 2008 to 2013 the school went through a major scheme of redevelopment and is now mostly housed in a purpose-built building.
