What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not fully developed. As a result, pupils do not gain as great a depth of understanding in these subjects as they could. Leaders need to continue the work they have started to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects helps pupils to build their subject-specific knowledge over time.
- In some foundation subjects, leaders do not use assessment precisely enough to check what pupils know and understand. Where this occurs, gaps in pupils' learning may not always be identified. Subject leaders should check the quality of education in their subject to ensure that pupils learn what is intended in the curriculum.
