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.

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school. The school has rapidly improved since the last inspection and now provides a good standard of education for its pupils.
Key to the improvements has been the visionary leadership of the executive headteacher, headteacher and consultant leader. Pupils now achieve well. They make good progress and achieve above average results by the end of Year 6.
Pupils who speak English as an additional language, disabled pupils and those with special educational needs, and pupils eligible for additional funding, make good progress. Pupils' behaviour is consistently good. They have good attitudes to learning, enjoy their lessons and are always engaged....r/> Pupils feel safe in school, and the school's safeguarding processes are rigorous. The quality of teaching is good. Teachers have good relationships with their pupils, and set work which makes them think and learn in all subjects.
An effective partnership with three other primary schools has helped the school improve quickly. The school's leaders make regular and effective checks on how well pupils are learning. Governors support the school and ask questions of senior leaders which help them improve pupils' achievement.
Governors visit the school regularly. The quality of display in classrooms and around the school is excellent. Pupils have many opportunities to use art in lessons.
The school promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching is yet outstanding. Sometimes, teachers' marking of pupils' work could be more helpful, particularly in mathematics.
The school has yet to engage all parents fully enough in supporting their children's education.
Information about this school
The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. There are two classes in each year group and morning and afternoon Nursery classes.
A breakfast club is run by the school each morning. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds is much higher than average, the largest group being of Black African heritage. The number of pupils who speak English as an additional language is above average.
The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives additional funding through the pupil premium is much higher than average. This funding is for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children who are looked after by the local authority. The percentage of pupils who join or leave the school at other than the usual times is much higher than average.
The proportion of pupils with special educational needs and supported at school action is much lower than the national average. However, the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is more than double the national average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
Most teachers have been appointed since the previous inspection. A new headteacher and consultant leader were appointed in the summer of 2013. In April 2013, the school joined a federation with three other local primary schools, the Compass Partnership, which is led by an executive headteacher who spends part of each week at the school.
