What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not check that pupils have remembered important knowledge from their past learning when introducing something new. When this is the case, gaps in pupils' knowledge prevent them from building securely on what they already know. The school should ensure that gaps in pupils' knowledge are identified and addressed swiftly so that pupils are ready for new learning.
