The school is much smaller than most primary schools. Pupils are taught within two mixed-age classes. One class is for Nursery, Reception and Year 1 and the other for pupils in Key Stage 2. Most pupils are White British. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils known to be eligible for funding through the pupil premium is below average. This is additional government funding which supports pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of pupils supported at school action is below the national average. The proportion of those supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is slightly above the national average. The school provides a number of after-school clubs, such as a cookery club. The school meets current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations set by the government for pupils’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics at the end of Year 6. The school has built excellent partnerships with the Coastal group of schools and other local secondary and primary schools in the Esk Valley. Following the last inspection, the governing body has been reviewed. There are a number of new governors, including a new Chair.
