Information about this school
The school is much smaller than the average-sized primary school. Almost all pupils are White British, and very few pupils speak English as an additional language. Very few pupils are eligible to receive the pupil premium.
This is additional funding for pupils in care and those known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of pupils supported through a statement of special educational need or with an education, heath or care plan is well-below average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
Great Dalby Community Primary School converted to become an academy on 1st March 2013. When its predecessor school, Great Dalby Community Primary School was last inspected by Ofsted, it was judged to be good. The Early Years leader is a Lead Practitioner for moderation and standardisation.
