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 With quiet determination, integrity and a belief in discovering the best in people, the headteacher has won the hearts and minds of his team. Leading by example, he has positively transformed the school since the previous inspection. The local authority has been instrumental in implementing the change required.
Early intervention, through sourcing an experienced headteacher, significant strengthening of the governing body and targeted work with the leaders of mathematics and English have brought about rapid improvement. Leadership at all levels is effective. High-quality training has empowered leaders to have an accurate understanding of the stren...gths and weaknesses of their respective areas.
Governors are knowledgeable, driven and passionate. They hold leaders fully to account for their plans and actions. Pupils make good progress across all year groups in school.
Standards have improved. The quality of teaching, learning and assessment has improved and is good. Work is well matched to the different learning needs of the pupils.
The support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a key strength of the school. Pupils are well supported because teaching assistants receive the training and support they require to be effective. Teaching assistants provide high levels of care and are skilful in adapting their teaching to meet the individual needs of each pupil.
The school's work around personal development and well-being is outstanding. Pupils behave well. They enjoy their lessons and take pride in their work.
The quality and standards reached in art, music and physical education (PE) are key strengths of the school. Beautifully presented, high-quality learning journals document good progress and examples of imaginative learning across early years. Further work is required to consolidate the recent improvements in standards and curriculum planning across the school.
The location of the outdoor learning area for Reception children makes it difficult for them to access.
