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 Leaders and managers have high aspirations for the school, determined that pupils will be well equipped to move onto secondary school. Pupils make good progress through the school so that they reach standards in reading, writing and mathematics that are in line with national averages.
Teaching, learning and assessment have improved rapidly since the last inspection so that the majority is good or better. As a result, pupils enjoy their learning and make progress. Children in the early years provision make good progress because their teachers plan activities that match their interests so that they develop a range of skills.
Leaders mentor ...and support their colleagues to develop their professional skills. Pupils behave well around school. They show respect for their friends and adults in school and are very welcoming to visitors.
Governors have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the school. This enables them to ask questions and challenge leaders to make further improvements. Pupils are kept safe.
Adults ensure that there is a safe environment and that pupils understand how to keep themselves safe. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is threaded throughout the life of the school. This is underpinned by the school's values.
Parents appreciate the chances to participate in activities in the school and so understand better how their children are learning. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Sometimes the activities planned for pupils are not quite at the right level and so pupils find it hard to complete the task and lose concentration. Teachers have not yet been able to fully benefit from sharing best practice with other teachers, including those in other schools.
The information gathered about how well pupils are achieving is not yet consistently used effectively. Plans are not always clear enough about what progress is expected of pupils and how this will be evaluated.
