What the school should improve
- The school does not check what pupils know and understand in some foundation subjects effectively. As a result, staff do not always identify the most appropriate next steps for pupils' learning. Pupils are not always clear about how they can improve their work. The school should ensure that effective systems for formative assessment are in place across the wider curriculum and used consistently well.
