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.
Pupils achieve exceptionally well academically, personally, and creatively because of the wide range of opportunities available, and because of excellent teaching. Pupils become confident learners who want to succeed. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage make an excellent start in their reading, writing and understanding of numbers.
They quickly develop skills that allow them to work and play together confidently and independently. Pupils' progress from their starting points is outstanding in every year group, accelerating even more quickly in Year 6 because of the very high quality teaching. Pupils know how to move forwa...rd to the next level.
All pupils make outstanding progress and reach high standards in English and mathematics, including pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium, disabled pupils, those with special needs and the most able. Although the standards reached by boys are higher than all pupils nationally, they are not as high as the standards reached by girls in the school. Outstanding teaching ensures that pupils learn very quickly.
High expectations in all subjects, allow pupils to use their excellent skills in reading, writing and mathematics in every subject. This ensures pupils' progress is excellent. Expectations of pupils' behaviour are just as high and result in pupils showing high levels of trust and respect to each other and to adults in the school.
Pupils feel very safe and their attendance is excellent. Pupils are eager to learn, always want to improve and are very proud of their school. The headteacher and deputy headteacher's excellent leadership ensures that the whole-school team works well together to provide the best possible opportunities for pupils.
Senior and middle leaders carry out their roles effectively, providing a sound basis for reviewing the quality of the school's work and planning for the next steps. Achievement and teaching have improved and leaders are consistently eager to move the school forward. The governing body is exceptionally well informed and effectively challenges all aspects of the school's work, while remaining highly supportive.

The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is well below average.

This school offers support to other nearby schools as part of a 'Teaching Alliance'.
