What the school should improve

  • Some staff do not have the subject expertise to implement some areas of the curriculum effectively. Consequently, pupils do not learn as well as they should. Leaders need to ensure that staff have the requisite curriculum knowledge to deliver an ambitious, well-sequenced curriculum for all pupils.
