Information about this school

The school is larger than most primary schools. Most pupils are White British, with a very small minority from other ethnic groups, and almost none who speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium is well below average. This is additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, those in local authority care and pupils with a parent in the armed forces. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is well below average.

The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also well below average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school operates on two sites approximately two miles apart.

The second site was opened one year ago to cater for rising pupil numbers. It currently houses a Reception and Year 1 class only. It is expected that, in the course of time, it will be run as a separate school.
