What the school should improve
- Some areas of the curriculum are not well structured. Leaders have not yet identified the important content pupils need. Consequently, pupils do not always learn the range of knowledge they require. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum sets out with precision the essential subject content.
- In some subjects, where pupils have secured knowledge and are ready to learn more, the curriculum is not as ambitious as it could be. As a result, some pupils do not move on to more complex learning when they are ready. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is ambitious in every subject so that all pupils learn well.
