What the school should improve

• Some subject leaders are not sure precisely what children are learning in the early years. This means that they do not know how well children are achieving or how pupils are building on their learning from the end of early years. The school should ensure that pupils' learning is building effectively on prior learning from early years to Year 1 in all subjects.
