What the school should improve

  • Some pupils are not supported well enough to remember the key knowledge across the subjects they study. As a result, some pupils struggle to recall the essential knowledge they have previously learned. The school should ensure that the systems for assessment in place are securely embedded so that pupils know and remember more.
