What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the essential knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to know and remember. This means that pupils do not build knowledge as well as they could. In these subjects, leaders should clearly identify the essential knowledge and vocabulary pupils must learn so that they build knowledge securely over time.
