What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not ensure that pupils communicate clearly enough the new knowledge and vocabulary that they have been taught. This means that some pupils' understanding is not as secure as it could be and some pupils do not communicate and explain with enough detail and clarity what they have understood. The school should ensure that staff are supported to help pupils develop their communication of what they know and understand so that pupils deepen their understanding.
