This inspection rating relates to a predecessor school. When a school converts to an academy, is taken over or closes and reopens as a new school a formal link is created between the new school and the old school, by the Department for Education. Where the new school has not yet been inspected, we show the inspection history of the predecessor school, as we believe it still has significance.

Main findings
This is a good school. The outstanding care, guidance and support offered by the school, combined with an excellent partnership with parents and carers, make a significant contribution to pupils' good achievement and personal development. Pupils of all abilities, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, make good progress as a result of good teaching and learning and a rich curriculum.
The headteacher and leadership team are ambitious for pupils to achieve well and are good role models for other staff to follow. The school knows itself well although the role of some staff, particularly subject leaders, in monitoring and evaluating provision is not embedded fully. The governi...ng body is well informed and provides suitable challenge and support to the leadership team.
Pupils achieve well because the teaching is good. Attainment is rising and the school demonstrates good capacity to sustain further improvement. Underpinning the school's success is strong leadership.'
Ivanhoe School has changed my children's lives giving them the skills, and more importantly the self-belief, that they can achieve anything'. This comment strongly reflects the very positive views that parents and carers have of the school. Generally exciting and challenging lessons help pupils of all abilities to make good progress.
Pupils leave Year 6 with attainment that is average overall and improving. The school is particularly successful at helping pupils who find learning difficult to reach challenging targets. Very occasionally, teachers do not match work closely enough to the needs of the more-able pupils to ensure they make the best progress possible.
Pupils' behaviour is excellent and they are both very kind as well as tolerant towards each other. Pupils show outstanding commitment to healthy lifestyles through their regular exercise and participation in whole-school sporting events. Pupils are mature, friendly and sociable.
They make an outstanding contribution to the school and local community, for example, through the use of the website and the work of the school council. Older pupils provide strong support and guidance to younger ones. Pupils feel safe.
Pupils' attendance is above average. Teachers make good use of information and communication technology (ICT) to motivate and to support pupils in lessons. Pupils enjoy the challenges provided by an exciting and varied curriculum.
Learning is often practical and is based on real-life situations. Pupils participate in visits and a wide range of clubs and societies that broadens their experiences. Extremely robust procedures to guide, support and protect those pupils whose circumstances may make them vulnerable, contribute to the outstanding care, guidance and support provided for pupils.
