What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some teachers do not have deep and secure subject knowledge. As a result, they do not always identify and address gaps in pupils' learning relating to knowledge that pupils should have acquired in previous academic years. The school should ensure that teachers develop their subject knowledge so that they can consistently identify and address gaps in pupils' learning across the curriculum.
- On occasion, teachers do not provide pupils with work that enables them to deepen their knowledge and understanding. As a result, these pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers provide work that enables pupils to deepen their understanding so that all pupils have the opportunity to learn the curriculum.
