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.

Children in the Reception year get off to a good start. Pupils are provided with a good range of interesting and enjoyable activities. Pupils achieve well and make good progress, particularly in mathematics.

Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs make exceptional progress. Teaching is good. Lessons capture pupils' interest and enthusiasm and the basic skills of reading, writing and mathematics are taught well.

Behaviour and safety are good. Pupils are proud of their school and rightly proud of their achievements. Leadership and management are good.

Since the school's previous inspection the headtea...cher and governing body have brought about several significant improvements. Pupils' progress, the teaching and the provision for the youngest children are much improved. Parents are full of praise for the work of the school.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : There are still some variations in pupils' achievement in reading, writing and mathematics that the school's initiatives have not completely ironed out. Some pupils are not helped to understand the levels they have reached and what they need to do to make their work even better.

Information about this school

The proportion of pupils who come from minority ethnic groups is low, with none who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs who are supported at school action is below average. The proportion of those supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is above average.

The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for additional funding through the pupil premium is also below average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. Pupils are taught in two classes.

One is for children in the Reception year and pupils in Years 1 and 2. The other class is made up of pupils in Years 3 to 6. The privately managed 'Ladybirds' pre-school group is accommodated on the school site and is subject to a separate inspection.
