Highlights from Latest Inspection

Information about this school

The school is larger than the average-sized primary school.

Most pupils are White British. The early years provision consists of 16 part-time children in the Nursery and 42 full-time children in the Reception classes. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium is below that found in most schools.

The pupil premium is the additional funding provided by the government to support pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of pupils who have special educational needs or disability, including those with a statement of special educational needs or an education, health and care plan, ...is broadly average. The school meets the government's floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6.

The school meets requirements for the publication of specified information on its website. Inspectors were aware during this inspection that a serious incident that occurred at the setting since the previous inspection is under investigation by the appropriate authorities. While Ofsted does not have the power to investigate incidents of this kind, actions taken by the school in response to the allegations were considered alongside the other evidence available at the time of the inspection to inform the inspectors' judgements.

Since the last inspection, the school received two monitoring visits by Ofsted to determine how much progress it was making in meeting its areas of improvement. There has been a significant turnover of staff since the last inspection. The leadership team has been strengthened and a new governing body is in place.
