What the school should improve
- Until recently, governors' strategic leadership and oversight of the school has not been strong enough. This means that they have not had the knowledge they need to hold leaders fully to account. Governors need to implement their plans to strengthen their strategic role, including their oversight of the school, so that they have an accurate understanding of the quality of education for all pupils.
- In some subjects, teachers do not have a secure understanding of what pupils have learned and remembered over time. This means that they are not able to adjust lesson content to reflect any gaps in pupils' previous learning. Leaders need to provide training for staff so that teachers have a stronger understanding of pupils' previous learning.
