What the school should improve
- Leaders have recently adopted a new curriculum for teaching personal, social and health education. Some parts of the curriculum are not as embedded as they could be. This means that some pupils do not fully understand fundamental British values. Leaders must ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to develop a secure understanding of British values.
