Description of the school

St Mary the Virgin is a small primary school which is growing in size and popularity. About half of the small number of pupils who come from minority ethnic groups speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is well above average due to the school's reputation for providing for these pupils. Their needs cover specific and moderate learning and speech and language difficulties together with multiple sensory impairment, autism and emotional and behavioural needs. Two years ago, the governing body set up a Nursery unit for children from two to five years of age.

This setting works very closely with the school's Rece...ption class and was also inspected. As a relatively new school, a significant number of pupils have joined after the Reception Year. The school has Investors in People and Rights Respecting School status together with the Healthy School Award and awards for outdoor learning and self-evaluation.
