What the school should improve
- The school is developing its processes for checking how well pupils learn the intended wider curriculum. In some foundation subjects, the school does not use assessment as effectively as it could to develop pupils' learning further. The school should ensure that staff have sufficient information to identify gaps in pupils' learning so that they can help pupils to achieve more.
