Information about this school

The school is much smaller than the average-sized primary school.

Pupils are taught in four mixed-age classes. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups is well below average, and almost none speak English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for 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, school action plus, or with a statement of special educational needs is well below average. All pupils are educated on site.

The school does not use alternative provision to support any of its pupils. The school's most recent results cannot be compared to the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum standards for pupils' attainment and progress, because there were not enough pupils to make such comparisons meaningful. The present headteacher joined the school since its previous inspection.
