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.

Information about this school
The school is smaller than the average sized primary school. Most pupils are White British, with around 10% from a range of minority ethnic groups. Very few pupils speak English as an additional language.
The proportion of disadvantaged pupils for whom the school receives additional funding through the pupil premium is below average. The pupil premium provides additional funding for children who are in the care of the local authority or those known to be eligible for free school meals. In the last two years, the number of disadvantaged pupils in Year 6 was very small.
The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is below average. These needs relate mainly to moderate learning difficulties, speech and language problems or social/ communication difficulties. Children in the early years attend a Nursery class on a part-time basis or full-time in a Reception class.
The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school does not use any alternative provision. The on-site provision for childcare after school, 'EnergyKidz', is not managed by the governing body and receives its own inspection report, which is available on the Ofsted website at www.
