What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the important knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember has not yet been precisely identified. This means that, over time, pupils do not build their knowledge well. The school needs to ensure that all subjects identify the knowledge that pupils must learn and when.
- Assessment is still being developed in some foundation subjects. It is not yet used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well enough over time. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively to check on pupils' understanding and use this information to inform future learning.
