Very few are from ethnic minority backgrounds. The school has identified 21% of its pupils as having additional learning needs, which corresponds with the national percentage.

The headteacher’s robust leadership succeeds in creating a close-knit, inclusive ethos that leads to a climate of successful co-operation among the staff and the whole school community.
