What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly. They miss out on important learning. This means that they have gaps in their knowledge and do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure its actions to improve attendance have an impact so that all pupils attend regularly and do not miss out on their learning.
- In a small number of subjects, the changes to the curriculum are at an early stage. The school has not checked on the impact of its improvement work. This limits its understanding of what works well, and what needs refining. The school should ensure that in all subjects, it has a clear overview of the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning over time.
