What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the checks on what pupils have previously learned lack sufficient rigour. This means that sometimes pupils do not develop a secure understanding before new content is introduced. Their learning is slowed as a result. The school should accurately assess pupils' knowledge and understanding and use this information to inform future teaching.
  • Some pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged, do not attend school often enough. This means that they do not fully benefit from the school offer of enrichment, learning and care. The school should strengthen the systems to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
