What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not identified with enough precision the knowledge they want pupils to know and remember. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and so they are less prepared for their next stage of learning. The school must ensure that across all subjects the precise knowledge pupils need to learn is identified and taught progressively from early years to Year 6.
