What the school should improve
- Teachers do not assess pupils' learning well enough in some foundation subjects. This means teachers cannot build securely on pupils prior learning because they do not have a clear picture of what that is. The school need to ensure that teachers assess pupils' understanding effectively in all subjects.
- Pupils do not attend school regularly enough and too many pupils are persistently absent. The school needs to ensure that pupils' attendance improves and fewer pupils are persistently absent.
