What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not yet checked how well the curriculum is implemented. They are not clear about where there are gaps in teachers' subject knowledge or expertise. This means that in these subjects, teachers do not receive guidance or training to teach the curriculum as effectively as they might. Leaders should now carry out their plans to check where guidance and training are needed and put these in place to ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well in all subjects.
