Information about this school

The school is a larger than average-sized primary school.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for additional government funding, known as the pupil premium, is much lower than the national average. This extra money is provided for children known to be eligible for free school meals.

The proportions of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs, including pupils supported through school action or school action plus and those with statements of special educational needs, are lower than in most other schools. Some pupils have speech, language and communication support needs, while others have behavioural, emotional and social difficulties or other needs, some of which are severe. Most pupils are of White British heritage.
