What the school should improve
- Assessment is still being developed in some foundation subjects. As a result, it is not clear how well pupils are learning their intended curriculum. Teachers do not always use assessment information well enough to address gaps in pupils' prior learning. The trust needs to ensure that assessment in these subjects is strengthened so that pupils learn and remember the curriculum well.
