What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that the curriculum for modern foreign languages is structured to provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to build their knowledge and skills over time. • Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently use questioning well to identify and close gaps in pupils' knowledge and challenge pupils who are ready to move on. • Leaders should ensure they strategically use their detailed and insightful analysis of the information they collect to improve provision in all aspects of the school's work.
