Both school are in the upper quartile for mobility. There is an extra administrative burden but have staff who are very good at liaising with previous schools. In terms of leadership, tracking progress and data analysis is difficult.
There are issues around having service children but not all negative, both schools work hard and what works for service children works for all children.Both schools work hard to deliver a memorable curriculum and give the children a sense of place and belonging at their new school
