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 an inadequate school Over time, leaders and governors have let the school decline.
Pupils' outcomes and teaching, learning and assessment are now inadequate. Disadvantaged pupils underachieve considerably. Leaders failed to challenge weaknesses in teaching and, until recently, did not provide teachers with training to help them to improve.
Teachers' expectations are too low. They do not provide work for pupils which is the right level to help them progress in their learning. Some pupils are not challenged enough, especially the most able.
Teachers do too little to deepen pupils' understanding of history and geography. Attendance is improving, ...but some pupils are absent far too often. Some pupils occasionally use hurtful or racist language.
Pupils' writing skills are weak. Teachers do not consider how to improve pupils' writing skills by building on what pupils can already do. The teaching of reading is poor.
Some pupils are not reading books which are the right level of difficulty for them. The curriculum does not ensure that some subjects are taught in sufficient depth. The school does not enable pupils to develop their creative talents.
The school has the following strengths The new headteacher has acted swiftly to halt the decline in pupils' attainment and progress. With the support of senior leaders, she has already improved pupils' behaviour and attendance and ensured that vulnerable and disadvantaged pupils receive effective support. Staff have a good knowledge of safeguarding.
Pupils said that they feel safe in school. Governors now provide more rigorous challenge to leaders. The teaching of mathematics is improving because of the support from the subject leader which is helping staff to improve their skills.
Children get off to a good start in the early years because teaching is good. Children are well cared for. Leadership in the early years is good.
Pupils work well together and have positive attitudes to learning. They are polite, friendly and show respect for adults.
Information about this school
The school is larger than most primary schools.
About three-quarters of pupils come from a White British background, with small numbers from other heritages, including some Travellers of Irish heritage. An above average proportion of pupils are identified as speaking English as an additional language. About half of the pupils are disadvantaged, which is above average.
The proportion of pupils with SEND is average. A very small number of pupils have an education, health and care plan. Early years provision comprises one Nursery class for three- and four-year-old children and two Reception classes for four- and five-year-olds.
Children in the Nursery attend part time. The school provides a breakfast club each morning and an after-school club each evening. A very small number of pupils attend off-site alternative provision, either full time or part time, for speech and language support.
The headteacher joined the school in September 2018. The chair of governors was new to their role in January 2019. The school's most recent section 48 inspection for schools with a religious character took place in October 2016.
