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 an outstanding school. Outstanding leadership has created a purposeful learning ethos where pupils flourish academically and their wellbeing is carefully nurtured. Pupils make outstanding progress as a result of teaching which is consistently good and much that is outstanding.
All pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school has successfully encouraged a love of reading in pupils through many innovative strategies. A particular strength of the school is the outstanding teaching in the many small group and one-to-one lessons.
This ensures that all pupils, especially, those who are disabled and have special educational ...needs, make outstanding progress. Pupils are very enthusiastic about their learning and make every effort to succeed. Their behaviour is exemplary and they are a credit to their school.
Pupils feel safe. Work is marked extremely well in English and mathematics but not to the same standard in other subjects. Pupils do not always use the comments teachers make to improve their work.
The headteacher is very well supported by the deputy headteacher and subject leaders. Senior leaders check the achievement and behaviour of pupils in a meticulous manner. Governors understand the strengths and weaknesses of the school and have been highly effective in supporting senior leaders in their drive for improvement.
The curriculum is exciting and rich in memorable experiences. It provides pupils with a wide range of opportunities to improve their basic skills. All members of staff are highly valued and have every opportunity to improve their own practice and become leaders of the future.
All staff exhibit a strong desire to see the school improve still further and they are committed to helping all pupils achieve their full potential. This school has greatly improved since the previous inspection. Carefully implemented actions have increased achievement and improved the quality of teaching.
Parents are very positive about all aspects of school life and would rightly recommend the school to others.
