What the school should improve
- The curriculum for some subjects has recently been refined. It is too soon to see the full impact on pupils knowing and remembering more in these subjects. The school should ensure that the curriculums for these subjects are consistently and securely embedded.
- The approach to monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of how well some subjects are delivered is not precise due to staffing changes. Some staff do not deliver these subjects consistently well, as they do not get the support they need. The school must ensure that it monitors and evaluates the delivery of all subjects and ensure that staff get the support they need to deliver all subjects consistently well.
