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.

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Standards have risen across the school since the previous inspection in a range of subjects, including English and mathematics. Almost all teaching is now good, and in some cases it is outstanding.

Teachers plan well and assess pupils' progress accurately. The leadership of the headteacher has been a significant factor in the school's recent improvement. The school's work to support pupils who have special educational needs or disability is exceptionally strong.

Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They look after one another well and reflect the school's values. Pupils' personal development and welfare are outstanding..../>
They feel safe and are very proud of their school. Governors have clear understanding of the school's strengths and what it needs to do in order to continue improving. Teaching in the early years is good.

Children are keen to learn in a bright and welcoming environment. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teaching requires further improvement in a very limited number of classrooms. Too little time is spent preparing children in the Reception classes for the move into Year 1.

Some subjects, particularly art and design and technology, are not as well taught as others. The teaching of phonics (the link between sounds and letters) in the Reception classes is not as well developed as it is at key stage 1.
