What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not always used effectively to identify and address misconceptions. As a result, there are gaps in some pupils' knowledge in these subjects. The school should support teachers to ensure systems are used consistently so that gaps in pupils' knowledge are closed effectively in these subjects.
