What the school should improve
- The curriculum for mathematics is not fully embedded. Teachers do not identify and address gaps in pupils' learning consistently well. As a result, some pupils do not achieve highly enough. The school should continue their work to develop and embed the mathematics curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of all learners.
