What the school should improve
- Assessment in foundation subjects is not as effective as in the core. Teachers do not adapt learning well enough as assessment does not inform them of what pupils remember over time. Some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge. Leaders need to ensure that assessment is developed further in foundation subjects to give teachers accurate information about what pupils know and can do.
