What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the substantive and disciplinary knowledge that pupils should learn. In these subjects, teachers do not know the specific knowledge that pupils must know. As a result, pupils are not achieving as well as they should. Leaders must continue to develop the content of the curriculum in detail and ensure teachers receive support to teach the revised curriculums.
- Some parents feel that leaders do not keep them informed well enough about how their children are doing or about issues they have raised. Leaders need to ensure they communicate with parents, the work they are doing and the support they are giving pupils.
