What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the sequence of learning does not support pupils to build knowledge securely. Pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to continue to develop the curriculum design to support pupils to build knowledge well. This will help pupils to make links between different parts of their learning.
- Leaders have introduced new methods of assessment. These are in the early stages of implementation. Some pupils find it hard to remember their learning over time. Learning is not always based on pupils' prior knowledge. Leaders need to continue to develop how assessment is used to check pupils' learning and support them to know and remember more over time.
