What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the essential knowledge they want pupils to learn. Also, they have not ensured that the curriculum in these subjects provides pupils with a systematic progression of subject-specific skills. This means that sometimes pupils are not secure in their knowledge and understanding of these subjects. Leaders should ensure that foundation subject leaders are provided with the training they need to become subject experts who are able to design and adapt subject curriculums which provide pupils with both a depth of knowledge and an increasingly developed understanding of subject disciplines.
