What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the plans for what pupils need to know at different stages are not as precise as they could be. As a result, assessment does not always identify the most important gaps in pupils' knowledge or skills. Leaders should ensure that curriculum plans clearly identify what pupils need to know or be able to do at particular stages in their learning.
