Borderbrook AVC School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Borderbrook Anglican Voluntary Controlled School is an English-medium primary school in Wrexham. The school serves a rural area close to the English border.

Since January 2016, the school and St. Paul's Church in Wales Voluntary Aided Primary School have formed the Maelor Church Schools Federation. Both schools share the same headteacher and governing body.

Borderbrook Anglican Voluntary Controlled School was last inspected in June 2010. This is the first inspection of the school since the federation. There are 29 pupils on roll, including a few part-time nursery pupils.

Pupils are taught in two mixed-age classes. One class caters for foundation phase aged pupils and the other for pupils in key stage 2. Very few p...upils are eligible for free school meals.

The school states that a very few pupils are on the additional needs register. The percentages of pupils eligible for free school meals or on the additional needs register are much lower than the all Wales averages. All pupils are white British.

No pupil speaks Welsh at home. The headteacher has been in post since April 2012. She was appointed as headteacher to both schools in the federation in January 2016.
