What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, assessment does not yet swiftly identify if pupils have acquired the precise knowledge the school expects them to. This means pupils occasionally have gaps in their learning. The school must continue to sharpen assessment, and adapt the curriculum when necessary, so that pupils develop the knowledge and skills they need.
