What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough. This means they are not aware of or address gaps in learning and misconceptions that pupils may have. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers check pupils' understanding systematically to identify and address any gaps in learning or misconceptions.
- At times, teachers do not adapt their teaching to support pupils with SEND in accessing the curriculum. This means that some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could in some subjects. The school should ensure that teachers know how to adapt their delivery of the curriculum in these subjects so that pupils with SEND can learn successfully.
