Information about this school

Ermington is a smaller-than-average-sized primary school which is increasing in size.

Since the previous inspection it has federated with Ugborough Primary School and the two schools have formed the Beacon Federation, sharing an executive headteacher and a governing body. It has seven classes, including one Reception class for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and supported by the pupil premium (additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children who are looked after and children from service families) is much lower than average.

The proportions of pupils from ethnic minority groups or who speak English as an additional language is much lower than found nationally. There are fewer disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported at school action than the national average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is also below average.
