This is a larger-than-average primary school. Since opening in 2007, it has expanded rapidly, doubling its number on roll in the last four years. Almost all pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, mainly Bangladeshi, Black African, Indian and Pakistani. Nearly all of them speak English as an additional language, with a small minority at the early stages of learning English. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is much higher than the national average, as is the proportion of pupils joining or leaving the school other than at the usual times. For a considerable proportion of these pupils, especially those in the older classes, this is their first experience of schooling. The proportion of pupils supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is lower than the national average. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils’ attainment and progress. Since the last inspection, there has been a sharp increase in the number of staff. The senior leadership team has expanded and the Chair of the Governing Body is a new appointment. The Children’s Centre on site, which is managed by the governing body, is subject to a separate inspection.
