Information about this school

This is a smaller than average-sized primary school.

In the early years, children are taught full time in a Reception class. The school has no Nursery class. The school serves a community where most pupils are of White British heritage and a very small number of pupils speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is well below average. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (which provides additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and for children who are looked after) is well below average, typically less than five in each year group. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics.
