Information about this school

This is larger than the average-sized primary school. It is located on two sites over four miles apart, with three Reception classes at the Charlton site, and a single-form entry school with a nursery on the Thamesmead site. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is much higher than average.

Most of these pupils speak English as an additional language. The largest group is of Black African heritage. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium is well above average.

The pupil premium is additional funding for pupils looked after by the local authority, those known to be eligible for free school meals and children from service families. In this school, it applies to all three groups. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is below average.

The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average. The school exceeds the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school runs a daily breakfast and after-school club at the Charlton site.

Since the last inspection, a second site was opened in September 2012 in Charlton. The building is being converted to accommodate three forms of entry. The leadership team has completely changed, with a new executive headteacher, a head of school at the Thamesmead site and a deputy headteacher appointed on both sites.
