What the school should improve
- The school is not checking how well the new learning, in a small number of subjects, is helping pupils to achieve. This means that it is not assured that the recent changes are making the intended difference to pupils' learning. The school should ensure that it evaluates the impact of recent changes to check how well the subjects are being delivered and understood.
- In a small number of subjects, the checks that the teachers carry out do not enable them to spot gaps in pupils' learning. It is also means that the school cannot be fully assured that the curriculum is helping pupils to achieve well. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment strategies effectively to spot misconceptions in pupils' learning.
