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.

Pupils make good progress from their starting points to reach standards in English and mathematics which are above those typically found by Year 4. Teachers have a good knowledge and understanding of the different subjects they teach, and of pupils' abilities and interests. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning.

This makes a strong contribution to their progress. They behave well in school, they feel safe and have no concerns about bullying. The effectiveness of science in the school is good.

The school promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well. Leaders have an accurate view of the school's str...engths and areas for development because of their rigorous monitoring of pupils' progress. The work of leaders and managers, including governors, has effectively ensured that teaching and pupils' resultant achievement are good.

Provision in the Early Years Foundation Stage is good and children quickly settle into school routines. It is not yet an outstanding school because : When marking pupils' work, teachers do not always give clear guidance about what pupils need to do next to improve. Teachers do not get sufficient opportunities to observe outstanding teaching to further improve their own practice.

Teachers do not always ensure that the more able pupils are learning quickly. Pupils do not regularly check their spelling, punctuation and grammar and sometimes the presentation of their work is not neat. There are not enough opportunities for pupils to learn about life in modern Britain.
