What the school should improve
- In some subjects in key stage 4, teachers do not check whether pupils' knowledge is secure enough before introducing new learning. Some pupils develop misconceptions as a result. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to check that key knowledge is secure so that pupils can build successfully on what they know already.
