What the school should improve
- In a few of the foundation subjects, the work given to pupils is not as demanding as it could be. It does not always reflect the ambitious aims of the curriculum. As a result, pupils do not learn as much as leaders intend. Leaders should ensure that curriculum plans are fully implemented in all subjects across the school to deepen pupils' knowledge.
