What the school should improve
- In a few areas of the curriculum, staff are new to their roles or have lacked the expertise that they need. As a result, in these few subjects, pupils do not develop their learning as well as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the guidance and expertise to implement the planned curriculum effectively, so that all pupils can apply what they know with increasing fluency and independence.
