The Mulberry Primary School

The Mulberry Primary School continues to demonstrate solid performance, maintaining its status as a good school. Pupils feel happy and safe, enjoying a supportive environment where teachers are dedicated to their well-being and education. Leaders have effectively established a robust curriculum designed to enhance learning for all students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities. However, there are areas where improvements are necessary, particularly in fully embedding expectations in a few subjects, as staff are still developing their delivery of the updated curriculum.

Strengths

• Pupils enjoy learning and feel safe at school.
• There is a consistent approach to managing behavior, resulting in rare bullying incidents.
• The curriculum is well-sequenced and designed to enhance pupil learning.
• Leaders prioritize the teaching of reading with a strong early reading program.
• The school has a positive learning environment for pupils with SEND.
• Leaders support staff well and ensure their welfare and well-being.

Areas for Improvement

• Some subjects have expectations that are not fully embedded in curriculum delivery.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 0.0% of pupils at The Mulberry Primary School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). No pupils were permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 The Mulberry Primary School had 18.3 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 22.1% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 23.1% of pupils at The Mulberry Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 11.9% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

The school has a SEN unit with 24 pupils.

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

In 2025–26 The Mulberry Primary School received £10,918 and spent £10,236 for each of its 482 pupils. It ended the year with reserves of £401,000 (£831 per pupil).
