What the school should improve

• In some foundation subjects, the key knowledge has not been identified clearly. This means that pupils have gaps in what they learn and move on to new learning before they have learned what they need to. The school should identify its expectations for the content of its curriculum, so that staff know what pupils know and remember. This will ensure staff can adapt and assess their teaching accurately to ensure pupils do not have gaps in their knowledge before they move on to teach new learning.
