What the school should improve

  • In some areas of the curriculum, subject leaders are developing their leadership roles. They do not fully evaluate the delivery of the curriculum, and the impact this is having on pupils. Leaders need to ensure that subject leaders refine their skills, so that they help teachers to develop their subject knowledge, and check how well the curriculum is implemented.
