What the school should improve
- The implementation of some aspects of the wider curriculum is not consistently effective. This means that pupils' knowledge and understanding in these areas are not as secure as they are in others. The school must ensure that the implementation of all subjects is consistently strong, so that pupils know and remember more in all subjects.
