What the school should improve
- Some subject curriculums are not as well developed and ambitious as others. As a result, pupils do not necessarily build their key learning over time across all subjects. Leaders need to ensure that all subject curriculums are equally ambitious, so enabling pupils to know and remember more over time and achieve as well as they should in all subjects.
