SCHOOL ORGANISATION

The school is a full two-form entry primary school with an estimated pupil roll of 410 for September 2009 (This figure excludes the 25 full-time equivalent places for the Nursery). There are fourteen classes covering the infant and junior stages of education. The two classes in each age-group are organised to achieve a fair distribution of children based upon age and sex.

Classes are mixed-ability groupings with each class having its own teacher for most areas of the curriculum. There are occasions, however, when the specialist skills of members of staff are utilised to benefit the children's learning. It is also current school practice that from Year 2 pupils are 'set' on the basis of performance in Mathematics.
