What the school should improve
- Teachers sometimes do not check pupils' understanding thoroughly enough. As a result, a small number of pupils have misconceptions that are not immediately addressed. These misconceptions lead to gaps in their knowledge being carried forward longer than they need to be. Leaders need to ensure that teachers' questioning techniques enable them to spot pupils' misunderstandings. This will stop misconceptions from being carried forward by some pupils.
