What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not behave well at break or lunchtimes. They do not always play well or safely with each other. Leaders should ensure that pupils' behaviour at break and lunchtimes is as good as it is in lessons.
- Some teachers do not always precisely match learning activities to the curriculum in some subjects. This means that some pupils do not always learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers are clear about the intentions of learning activities, and that they match the aims of the curriculum.
