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 enter the school with skills that are typical for their age and a get a very good start to their time in school. They make good and sometimes outstanding progress across the Early Years Foundation Stage in their personal development.
Pupils generally make good progress across Key Stage 1. By the time they leave in Year 6, pupils have made accelerated progress. They reach standards that are well above average and continue to rise.
Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and teaching is good and sometimes outstanding. Teachers use questioning very effectively to accelerate pupils' understanding. Teaching assista...nts are used successfully and make a strong contribution to pupils' learning and progress.
Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a striking feature in the life of the school. Pupils work and play in harmony and behaviour is exemplary. They are very knowledgeable of how to keep safe and are adamant that there is no bullying.
They are very keen to learn and engage well in lessons. The co-headteachers' inspirational and rigorous leadership ensures that teaching is strong and pupils achieve well. Staff are supported extremely well by a new, skilful, senior leadership team.
A strong and very committed team of teachers also assures the school's continuing success and ability to improve. Governors are extremely knowledgeable about their school. They understand the school's data and have effectively supported the school's drive to improve.
Pupil premium funding is used effectively through a range of support activities which have had a positive impact on pupils' achievement. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teaching is not consistently outstanding. The school does not fully use its own expertise to improve teaching.
Marking does not consistently help pupils to achieve as well as they might. Opportunities are sometimes missed for pupils to accelerate their own learning and progress. Not all pupils across Key Stage 1 make consistently better than expected progress from their individual starting points.
Information about this school
The school is much larger than an average-sized primary school. A below average proportion of pupils is known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which is additional government funding for those pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children in the care of the local authority and children of service families. A below average proportion of pupils is supported at school action.
Similarly, the proportion supported as school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The majority of pupils are of White British heritage although the school has an increasing proportion of pupils from ethnic minorities. The school has an above average proportion of pupils with English as an additional language.
The school has achieved Sports Mark, Healthy School and Arts Mark Gold awards. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The Early Years Foundation Stage is taught in a separate Nursery and three Reception classes which share a large outdoor learning area.
