What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that pupils consistently use and apply the new vocabulary that they are taught. This means that sometimes pupils do not use this new vocabulary to explain their learning and show their deepening understanding. The school should support staff to ensure that pupils improve the accuracy in how they use and apply new vocabulary so that they deepen their understanding of this new knowledge.
- Some pupils are absent from school too frequently. As a result, they miss important learning and have gaps in their knowledge and understanding. The school should continue to improve the attendance of these pupils.
