What the school should improve
- Pupils in some year groups have gaps in their writing knowledge. This means that these pupils struggle with letter formation, writing sentences and completing extended writing tasks. The trust must ensure that gaps in pupils' knowledge are quickly filled and that they have regular opportunities to develop age-appropriate writing skills.
- The implementation of some newer areas of the curriculum is not consistently effective. It is not always delivered as intended. This means that some pupils' knowledge is not securely embedded. The trust must ensure that staff are well trained to implement all areas of the curriculum well so that pupils learn effectively in all subjects.
