Eight out of ten pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds mainly from Pakistan, Black African and Caribbean heritage. Over half the pupils have English as an additional language with twenty percent at the early stages of learning English. It opened in 2003 following the amalgamation of an infant and junior school. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is well above average. The proportion of pupils who have learning difficulties is above average but lower than average numbers of pupils have a statement of special need. Attainment on entry is well below average. The proportion of pupils joining or leaving the school at other than the usual times is very high. The school is linked in an informal arrangement with another local primary school and the headteacher is currently leading both schools.
