What the school should improve

  • Senior leaders are developing the role of subject leaders, particularly their monitoring of how effectively the refined curriculum framework is being implemented. Some subject leaders have not yet identified how they can best support other teachers to improve the teaching of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders are given the time and training they need so that they can support teachers to improve the implementation of the curriculum further.
