A large number of pupils leave or join during the year in this well above average sized school. The community it serves is very diverse. All but a very few pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds and approaching half are of Pakistani heritage. A large proportion of the pupils have a home language other than English. Its expertise as a leading school for supporting these pupils is recognised by the borough. More than one-third of the pupils are eligible for a free school meal. The proportion of pupils needing additional support with literacy is high and more pupils than in other schools have a statement for their special educational need. A new Children's Centre was opened on the site in October 2007. Provision for pupils in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is through a Nursery and two Reception classes. The school's is a leading school in this aspect and shares its practice throughout the borough.
