What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the key knowledge leaders want pupils to know and remember has not been identified. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to identify the precise knowledge they want pupils to know and remember, so that they develop a depth of understanding in all curriculum subjects.
- Some subject leaders do not have an accurate understanding of the effectiveness of the curriculum. As a result, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not addressed. Leaders need to check to see how well each subject is implemented, identify what pupils know and remember and help teachers to adapt the curriculum when necessary.
