What the school should improve
- When children are learning independently in the early years, the small steps of knowledge they need to know and remember lacks precision in some areas of the curriculum. As a result, some pupils do not deepen their understanding as well as they do in adult-led activities. The trust should ensure that learning intentions are clear for all areas of the curriculum, so that children in the early years are supported to build their knowledge well over time.
