What the school should improve
- The use of assessment to check and review what pupils understand and can do is not always applied with enough rigour. This means that misconceptions are sometimes not addressed in a timely manner, and on occasions, some pupils are not provided with the appropriate activities to extend and deepen their knowledge. The school should ensure that effective methods are used to assess and review pupils' understanding so that misconceptions are addressed and appropriate next steps are identified.
