All Saints' school is making improvements but these remain inconsistent, according to Ofsted.
The Darfield primary was placed in special measures - the inspection body's lowest category of failure - in March. But, after its second monitoring inspection on January 25 and 26, it was said to be increasing the quality of teaching and results.
Ofsted's report, published on Thursday, found the school's progress since being subject to special measures and since its last inspection as 'good'.
It showed more pupils were on target to achieve their potential in English and maths, with particularly rapid progress seen in years two and six. This was attributed to lessons being planned better and pupils' weaknesses being more efficiently targeted. However, these improvements remain below the national average.
Teaching was said to have been improved through putting teachers through greater scrutiny based on pupils' progress and from working with staff from St Mary's Primary, Barnsley, which has been rated a 'good' school.
Also praised was the practice of putting pupils' self-assessment with teacher assessments side by side and poor attendance was said to have been dealt with quicker, reducing the number of frequently absent pupils.
The school's early years foundation stage received praise for providing more outdoor learning and for the good quality assessment of their work, which is accompanied by children's own learning journals.
