Quote from OFSTED report March 2008

This is a large primary school with a Nursery and off-site Children's Centre serving a diverse neighbourhood of a wide socio-economic mix. The proportion of pupils entitled to free school meals is high, and a significant number are refugees or asylum seekers. Around three quarters of all pupils are from minority ethnic groups, and just under half speak English as an additional language, with many on early stages of learning the language. The proportion of pupils with learning difficulties or disabilities is above average. These are mainly behavioural, emotional and social disabilities. A considerable number arrive and leave during the year. The school has achieved a Healthy School's award, Reading Connects status, and more recently the Active Mark. The current headteacher was appointed in September 2006.
