Edingale, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 9JJ

Description of the school

This very small primary school serves a rural area of Staffordshire. An average proportion of pupils are eligible for free school meals. All pupils are White British and speak English as their first language. The proportion of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities has fallen since the previous inspection and is now very low. Many more pupils leave or join the school partway through their education than is the case nationally. In January 2007 a new headteacher was appointed and the school became the first in Staffordshire to become federated with another school. This means that the headteacher manages both schools, although they both have their own governing body. Full-time teachers now teach both classes, whereas prior to September 2007 they were taught by more than one teacher.
