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. Pupils make good progress overall, with an increasing number making outstanding progress. The proportion of pupils attaining the expected level of attainment by the end of Year 6 in reading, writing and mathematics is broadly average.
This represents good achievement from their skill level on entry to school, which is well below that expected for their age. Teaching is usually good and an increasing proportion is outstanding. Reading, writing, communication and mathematics are taught effectively.
Pupils' attitudes to learning and their behaviour are exemplary. They say they feel very safe in school at all times. The curriculum provides h...ighly positive experiences for learning.
It promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development extremely well. The headteacher has high expectations of all staff and pupils. Leaders and governors work together effectively and are ambitious for the school.
They are successfully improving the quality of teaching and raising pupils' achievement. Leaders rigorously check the school's performance to identify areas for development. Action to bring about improvement is checked regularly to measure how successful it is.
Staff are very respectful and courteous towards pupils and others. The care of pupils whose circumstances might put them at risk is exceptional. The governing body is supportive of the school and influential in helping it to move forward.
The school's ability to carry on making improvements is good. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teachers do not always provide work that sufficiently challenges pupils of different abilities. Marking is not used consistently to show pupils how to improve their work.
Pupils lack accuracy in using grammar, punctuation and spelling correctly. Pupils' mathematical problem-solving skills are not well-enough developed.
Information about this school
Wilbraham is much larger than the average-sized primary school.
There is a well above average proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium. The pupil premium is additional funding for those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is above average, as is the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs.
A high proportion of pupils come from a wide variety of minority ethnic backgrounds. The main ethnic groups represented are Arabic, Somali, Pakistani and White British. A high proportion of pupils do not have English as their first language, with 30 different languages spoken in the school.
The proportion of pupils who start school other than at the normal time is high. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school has gained a number of national awards, including the Activemark, and holds Healthy School status.
