What the school should improve
- At times, in some subjects, learning activities do not focus precisely enough on what pupils need to learn. When this happens, pupils do not gain knowledge as securely as they could. The school needs to make sure that learning activities consistently help pupils to learn and remember the important knowledge that is identified in the planned curriculum.
- On some occasions, teachers do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough to identify and correct misconceptions effectively. This means that, sometimes, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that teachers check pupils' understanding is accurate to support their future learning.
