What the school should improve
- Leaders have reviewed the curriculum to make sure it sequences the knowledge and skills that pupils will gain. Some subject leaders are new to their roles. They have not yet had the time or the training to be able to monitor their subjects effectively. They are unsure how well the curriculum is being implemented and the impact it is having. Leaders should ensure that the subject leaders gain the necessary knowledge and understanding to monitor the impact of the curriculum on pupils' ability to know and remember more over time.
- The current level of pupil absence is too high. As a result, some pupils are not accessing the curriculum and are at risk of falling behind. Leaders must ensure that the effective work with parents and carers continues to strengthen so that pupils attend school regularly.
