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.
After a prolonged unsettled period with many staff changes, the new headteacher has established a cohesive team of staff and governors who share her ambition for continuous school improvement. As a result, the school is moving forward rapidly. Children settle very quickly into the Early Years Foundation Stage.
They are given things to do that interest and excite them. They make a flying start to their life in school. Pupils make good progress and many reach above national average standards by the end of Year 6.
The quality of teaching is consistently good, with many examples of excellent practice, particularly in Years 5 and 6. ...Behaviour is good; pupils are polite and well mannered. They participate enthusiastically in lessons.
Parents are confident the school works hard to keep their children safe. The new senior leadership team and middle leaders have received very good training and guidance. This has enabled them to take a more active part in leading the school's further improvement.
The governors check thoroughly how well the school is doing to ensure that all pupils make good progress and that teaching is always at least good and more becomes outstanding. Leaders' relationship with parents is strengthening because leaders keep parents well informed. Parents appreciate the stability the new headteacher and the governors are bringing to the school.
It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teaching and achievement are not yet outstanding because pupils in some year groups do not make such strong and sustained progress as in others. Not all teachers use the school's marking system consistently well across all subjects to help pupils to improve their work. Some leaders responsible for subjects are not yet all fully effective in improving teaching.
Information about this school
The school is an average-sized primary school. It has three classes in Key Stage 1 and four in Key Stage 2. Nursery and Reception children are taught together in the Early Years Foundation Unit by two teachers.
Most pupils are of White British heritage. An average proportion of pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care, pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children with a parent or carer in the armed services. The proportions of pupils supported at school action and school action plus are below average.
The proportion of pupils with a statement of special educational needs is also below average. A breakfast and after-school club, which is managed by the governing body, is available. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set out the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
The school does not make use of alternative provision for any of its pupils. Following the retirement of the previous headteacher, the school was led by two acting headteachers. The current headteacher took up her post in September 2013.
