What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school does not ensure that pupils' knowledge and skills are sufficiently well developed. This means that some pupils do not have the understanding they need to be ready for new areas of learning. The school should make sure that staff have the training and support necessary to identify and address any gaps in pupils' learning.
