What the school should improve
- Some pupils at the early stages of reading do not always receive the precise support they need to catch up. This does not help them to learn to read as quickly and efficiently as they could. Leaders should ensure that pupils who need additional support to read receive precise support to enable them to become confident, fluent readers.
- New subject leaders are still developing some aspects of their leadership skills, particularly checking how well the curriculum is being implemented. As a result, they are not yet providing clear guidance on how to improve the delivery of the curriculum in some subjects. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders have the skills and expertise they need so that they can lead their subjects and support teachers effectively.
