What the school should improve
- Disciplinary knowledge is not always explicitly taught in the intended sequence as set out by the school in a few subjects. This means that pupils do not build on their learning skills as well as they could. The school should ensure the progression of subject-specific skills is clearly taught as it intends, so that pupils develop and apply these skills as successfully as they do substantive knowledge.
- Teachers are less secure at ensuring pupils get sufficient time to practise problem solving in mathematics. This means that pupils do not apply their mathematical learning as successfully as they might. This hampers the depth of their learning. The school should build staff confidence in teaching problem solving in mathematics and ensure they know how and when to teach it.
