What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to remember what they have learned previously. This means that some pupils are less confident in recalling what they have been taught. The school should ensure that it provides opportunities for pupils to develop secure foundations on which to build new learning.
