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 As a result of effective teaching and clear classroom routines, pupils are highly engaged in their learning and show consistently positive attitudes to learning.
Pupils make good progress from their starting points. In 2017, pupils made significantly better progress than other pupils nationally in reading, writing and mathematics and achieved standards of attainment above those seen nationally. Disadvantaged pupils make very good progress from their starting points, often exceeding other pupils nationally.
Differences in attainment significantly narrowed in 2017, with disadvantaged pupils outperforming their peers at key stage 1. Leaders ...and teachers cater well for the needs of pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and review their progress regularly with parents. Pupils achieve well.
Leaders and teachers show a good understanding of pupils' welfare and take their safeguarding responsibilities seriously. Leaders and governors promote an inclusive ethos and a culture of tolerance where every child is valued. Pupils behave with consistent respect and courtesy.
Provision in the early years has shown consistent improvement over a three-year period. Leaders and teachers help children to make good progress through effective planning, teaching and regular monitoring. The new chair and vice-chair of the governing body have refined committees to strengthen accountability.
The skills and expertise of new governors in holding the school to account are still developing. Leaders have provided a curriculum with breadth and balance, but pupils do not develop subject-specific skills in sufficient depth in subjects such as science, history and geography. Although leaders' actions have supported school improvement in recent years, systems to check teaching and progress are not sufficiently rigorous or regular.
Sometimes pupils, particularly the most able, are given work that lacks challenge. Attendance is improving but the attendance of disadvantaged pupils requires further improvement.
