This is an average-sized infant and nursery school. Half the pupils are White British and half are from minority ethnic groups, the largest of which are mixed White and Black Caribbean and Pakistani pupils. The percentage of pupils that speak English as an additional language is well above average as is the percentage known to be eligible for free school meals. The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those with a statement of special educational needs is also higher than usually found. The school is funded to provide resourced provision for up to eight pupils with physical difficulties and/or disabilities. The numbers of pupils who join or leave the school at other than the usual times has recently increased. The school has achieved Basic Skills Quality Mark, Activemark, Inclusion Mark Gold Award and Healthy School (Gold) and Investor in People status. Since its previous inspection, the school has become federated with the nearby junior school, high school and studio school to form the Netherhall Learning Campus. The governing body oversees the management of all the schools in the federation. The junior school was inspected at the same time as the infant and nursery school by a different team of inspectors. The report of its inspection is available on the Ofsted website www.ofsted.gov.uk.
