The number of pupils on the school’s roll has grown in recent years. The school is now slightly larger than the average-sized secondary school. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic heritages is well above the national average, and the proportion of pupils who speak English as an additional language is now above average. The proportion of pupils supported through the pupil premium funding is average. The proportion of pupils who have SEN and/or disabilities is above average, as is the proportion with education, health and care plans. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. Some pupils follow individual, vocational programmes of study in school, at Barnfield College and with local training providers, including The Avenue Centre for Education, Inspection report: Stopsley High School, 7–8 February 2018 Page 9 of 12 The Apollo Education Project, Academy 21, Shine learning Centre, Jigsaw and No Limits (Active Luton). The school provides specially resourced provision, currently for nine pupils who have speech and language difficulties, in the Archimedes Resource Base. The school works in a collaborative partnership, ‘Luton Futures’, with four other Luton schools.
