What the school should improve
- The implementation of the curriculum is not consistently strong across all subjects. Some teaching does not make clear what pupils are expected to learn or help them to develop a depth of knowledge. Leaders need to ensure that all areas of the curriculum are well implemented so that pupils know more and remember more.
