What the school should improve
- On occasion, the implementation of the school's curriculum is variable across classes and subjects. This mean that pupils do not always learn and remember the intended curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils are supported to make consistently strong progress through the curriculum.
- The support for pupils with SEND is variable. This means that these pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they should. The school should ensure that pupils with SEND are given the right help and support to enable them to secure essential knowledge and skills.
