What the school should improve
- Changes to some wider curriculum subjects are recent. The precise knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember needs further refinement. As a result, pupils do not yet have the depth of understanding the school intends in some wider curriculum areas. The school should ensure it identifies the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn in all subjects, so that they achieve as well as the school intends them to across the curriculum.
