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. |

Pupils in this school make good progress. Many children start with skills which are below expectations for their age. By the end of Year 6 their results in English and mathematics are above average. Teaching and learning are good in all year groups and across a range of subjects. Some teaching is outstanding. Careful planning means that pupils of all abilities are able to take a full part in lessons and do their best. Activities in lessons are interesting so they engage and maintain pupils’ attention. Teaching assistants and support staff play an important role in making sure that pupils understand their tasks. Behaviour is good in lessons and around the school. Pupils show respect for each other, adults and the school’s equipment. They feel safe and understand the school’s rules well. The headteacher and senior staff lead the school well. They check teaching very carefully to ensure that pupils’ learning is maintained at a good standard. The headteacher and senior staff have high expectations of pupils’ learning. They have the same ambition for pupils’ happiness and safety. The governing body knows the school well and plays an important part in making the school successful. They challenge the headteacher to ensure that necessary improvements are made. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Although achievement in English is good overall, too few pupils reach the highest levels in writing. Teachers do not always give enough attention to pupils’ spelling, punctuation and grammar when they mark work. The school’s very careful and comprehensive records of pupils’ progress are over-complex, so they do not make for efficiency in improving pupils’ learning. |
