What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school does not have a clear understanding of the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning. This means that changes are not always made in a timely manner. The school should ensure that it has clarity about how well pupils learn and use this information to bring about any necessary improvements in the content and implementation of the foundation subject curriculum.
