Two thirds of the pupils are boys. Increasingly, pupils are admitted with more complex needs. A further quarter have behaviour, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). Nearly half have English as an additional language (EAL), with Gujerati, Urdu and Somali being the three main languages spoken other than English. Nearly half the pupils are entitled to free school meals, and the number coming from single parent families is high.
