Information about this school

This is an average sized primary school. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, those who are looked after by the local authority or from service families, is very small.

The proportion of pupils who are from minority ethnic backgrounds is low and there are very few pupils who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils supported at school action is below average. The proportion of pupils supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is average.

There is a specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs who have considerably more difficulty in controlling their emotions and behaving sensibly than is the norm, called the Complex Needs Unit. There are five pupils currently on roll and pupils are educated both in the Complex Needs Unit and with the rest of the school. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
