What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not provide work or activities that helps pupils learn effectively. Activities are not always well matched to pupils' needs. As a result, pupils can become confused or distracted. The school should ensure that teachers plan activities that are designed to meet all pupils' needs. This will help pupils to learn and remember more.
- Teachers do not always check whether pupils correct basic errors that have been identified. As a result, pupils can repeat these errors. The school should ensure that teachers use checks on pupils' learning to address misconceptions.
