St Jude's is a smaller than average primary school that serves a culturally and socially diverse community. Over a third of all pupils receive free school meals. Most pupils come from Black Caribbean backgrounds and this group makes up half of the school. The next largest groups include those from Black African backgrounds. Between Years 3 and 6, almost all pupils come from these two groups. In other parts of the school, an increasing proportion of pupils are from other backgrounds such as White British, Portuguese, Turkish, Bangladeshi, Chinese and a variety of Mixed heritages. A slightly higher than average proportion speak English as an additional language. The number of pupils with learning difficulties and disabilities is similar to the national average. Pupils' difficulties mostly relate to communication, behavioural, emotional and moderate learning difficulties. During the last 18 months, the headteacher has been working very closely to support another local school. The school has gained the Artsmark Gold, the Healthy School and the environmental Green Flag Awards.
