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 Since the previous inspection, the school has experienced a period of turbulence in leadership. The current interim headteacher has provided a phase of stability, ably supported by the governors, the assistant headteacher and other strong leaders.
Leaders have ensured that the quality of teaching is consistently good throughout the school. Pupils' language is very well developed as a result of teachers' high expectations and focus on vocabulary in their teaching. In 2018, all pupils in key stage 2 reached or exceeded the expected standard in reading, writing, mathematics and science.
Their progress was average in all subjects, having impr...oved over time. The majority of pupils currently at the school, including disadvantaged pupils, are making strong progress, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. The strongest progress is made by pupils who have been at the school since their early years.
Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They enjoy their learning and work well together. Leaders use additional funding strategically so that as many pupils as possible benefit from it.
Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make very strong progress because the leader liaises with other staff to ensure that individuals' needs are met. Provision for children in early years has improved as a result of the leader's thorough understanding of child development shaping her actions. The impact of the physical education (PE) and sport premium is not evaluated in a way that allows leaders, including governors, to analyse it.
The school's website does not meet statutory requirements because curriculum information is incomplete and current plans for using the pupil premium grant are not available. Leaders have not finished developing the way they evaluate pupils' learning in subjects other than reading, writing and mathematics. Consequently, teaching of the other subjects is not adjusted to enable pupils to make strong progress from their different starting points.
Teachers set pupils work in writing and mathematics lessons that becomes increasingly difficult. However, in most classes, the most able pupils have to complete the simpler work first before moving on to work that makes them think hard.
Information about this school
This is a smaller than average primary school.
The proportion of pupils who leave or join the school part way through their primary education is much higher than in most schools nationally. The majority of pupils travel to and from school by bus from the nearby army base. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is below average.
The school is currently led by an interim headteacher provided as part of the support that has been given by the local authority. The school is due to join Asset Education, a multi-academy trust, next term. The school is not compliant with requirements for the publication of specified information on its website, including full curriculum information, the impact of the PE and sport premium and the current pupil premium grant strategy.
