What the school should improve
- Historic weaknesses in the school's curriculum mean that, in some foundation subjects, pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Consequently, pupils struggle to recall and build on their previous learning in these subjects. The trust should ensure that recent improvements to the curriculum are embedded and that their effectiveness on pupils' learning is kept under review.
- The school is in the early stages of implementing assessment procedures in some foundation subjects. This means that assessment information is not being used effectively enough to strengthen the curriculum and address gaps in pupils' knowledge. The trust should ensure that assessment systems in these remaining subjects support teachers to check how well pupils have learned the knowledge in the curriculum.
