What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that there is clarity in the core knowledge that pupils should know and remember and the order in which it is taught to them. Consequently, some pupils do not build a secure depth of knowledge and understanding in these subjects. The school should ensure that it clearly defines and sequences the key content and concepts pupils need to know across both key stages in all subjects.
- There are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is delivered in some subjects. This means that there is variation in how well pupils learn the intended curriculum. The school should ensure that its quality assurance and professional development supports all staff to deliver their curriculum as intended across all subjects.
