What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not secured teachers' subject-specific pedagogical knowledge. This means that teaching does not routinely enable pupils to deepen or apply what they know or understand in some subjects. Leaders must continue to develop staff expertise to ensure that the intended curriculum is consistently implemented in all subjects.
