What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not identified the essential knowledge that pupils must learn. This makes it difficult for teachers to know what should be taught. In these subjects, pupils do not develop a deep body of subject knowledge. The school should ensure that teachers have the guidance that they need so that they can design learning that helps pupils to know more over time.
- In some subjects, the school's approach to assessment is in its infancy. This means that teachers do not remedy gaps in pupils' learning quickly enough in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment strategies to spot gaps in pupils' learning and then to design learning that builds on what pupils already know and can do.
