What the school should improve

  • Some subjects are in different stages of development. The school is aware that some subjects are not implemented consistently so that key learning and skills are building through the teaching of the subject. This means pupils are not consistently remembering and connecting new knowledge and skills. The school must ensure that the planned developments are consistently well implemented in the classroom, so that pupils learn well across all subjects.
