What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not consistently check what pupils have remembered before moving on to teaching new content. This means that some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge because they are not ready to move on and do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that in all subjects, teachers consistently check pupils have a secure understanding before teaching new content.
  • Some staff do not have the subject knowledge needed to teach some of the curriculum content. They do not cover all the skills and knowledge needed for future learning. As a result, in some subjects, pupils do not develop a secure understanding of subject content. Leaders need to ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise they need to teach all subjects effectively.
