Starting Points

In 2017, baseline data showed that 100% of Nursery pupils entered significantly below the age related expectation. Assessments identified pupils’ personal, social and emotional development and communication, language and literacy skills were poorly developed.

Diversity

95% of pupils are from minority ethnic families with 86% speaking English as an additional language.

SEN

16% of pupils have Special Educational Need with the greatest number of pupils having a ‘Moderate Learning Difficulty’ followed by Speech, Language and Communication needs.
