Academy conversion letter

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.

Pupils achieve well. They make good progress overall and outstanding progress in English. Pupils develop a love of reading from an early age, so make rapid progress.

The quality of teaching is good and improving steadily. Pupils enjoy lessons because they are challenging, varied and fun. The teaching of reading and writing is particularly strong.

Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage make rapid progress, particularly in their communication and reading skills as a result of high quality teaching. Pupils' behaviour is good. At times it is exemplary.

Pupils are polite and well behaved. They feel safe from all kinds ...of bullying. Leadership and management are outstanding.

The headteacher has vision, passion and energy. School leaders and the governing body constantly strive to improve teaching and pupils' achievement and do so very effectively. It is not yet an outstanding school because : The progress pupils make in mathematics lags behind that of reading and writing.

This is because teaching of basic mathematics skills has been weaker in previous years. There are remaining inconsistencies in the quality of teaching which are preventing its overall quality from rising to outstanding. While pupils' behaviour is often good or outstanding, in a small minority of lessons pupils lose concentration and need reminding of how to behave.

This means that behaviour and safety are overall good.
