Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom half, sitting at 7,674 out of 13,686 primaries. Progress scores are not available for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds compared with pupils’ starting points.

The school provides support for a wide range of special educational needs, including autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language communication needs, and social, emotional and mental health difficulties. Parent View responses from 50 parents between September 2024 and September 2025 show that 76 per cent would recommend the school. However, only 60 per cent of parents agreed or strongly agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and 40 per cent disagreed or strongly disagreed that SEND children receive the support they need. This suggests the school works well for many families but may not suit those with specific SEND concerns.
