What the school should improve
- In some phonics sessions, pedagogical strategies are not being used as effectively as they could be. This means that some pupils do not learn to read as well as they could. The school should ensure that the most effective strategies are used consistently across phonics sessions so that pupils can learn more.
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the precise knowledge that pupils should learn in each year group. This means that in some subjects, pupils do not build their knowledge progressively. The school should review the curriculum for these subjects and identify precisely what knowledge should be taught and when.
- Some subject leaders do not check the delivery of the curriculum. As a result, they do not identify when refinements to how some curriculums are implemented are needed. The school should ensure that systems are used to precisely identify areas to improve across the curriculum.
