This is a good school Leaders, governors and trustees have worked effectively to establish a strong curriculum and effective teaching since the academy opened.
Consequently, pupils make good progress. At the end of key stage 2, their attainment in reading, writing and mathematics is in line with national figures. Leaders at all levels contribute to improving provision and outcomes in their area of responsibility.

However, activities do not always challenge the most able pupils. Teachers have good subject knowledge which enables them to plan strong links across subjects. Pupils use their knowledge of phonics confidently when reading.
However, lower-ability pupils do not use other strategies to help them understand texts, which limits their success as readers. Leaders have been highly effective at improving attendance and reducing the number of pupils who are persistently absent. Pupils are very positive about their school.
They conduct themselves well in lessons, around the building and in the playground. Pupils feel safe at school and have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe, especially online. Children get off to a good start in the early years.
Routines are well established so children settle quickly. Adults place a strong focus on developing children's speech and language. Leaders foster pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well.

Information about this school
This is a larger than average-sized primary school. It opened as part of the Greenshaw Learning Trust in September 2016. Responsibility for the school rests with the trustees, who delegate most functions to the local governing body.
While over half of pupils are from a White British background, the school community is very diverse, made up as it is of 15 of the 17 ethnic groups represented on the census. Over one-third of pupils speak English as an additional language. This is higher than the national figure.
A number of these pupils are at the very early stages of learning English. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is higher than the national average. The proportion of pupils with SEND identified as SEN support is higher than the national figure; the proportion with education, health and care plans is average.
