What the school should improve
- Assessment routines in a small number of subjects are not fully developed. As a result, teachers in these lessons do not always check that the most important knowledge that pupils need has been secured in their memory. Leaders should complete their plans to ensure that teachers across the full curriculum check regularly what pupils know and can do. This will support teachers to prioritise lessons based on the content pupils need more practice with to learn and remember more.
