What the school should improve
- Not all foundation subjects are implemented and monitored with the same rigour and consistency seen in reading and mathematics. As a result, in some subjects, pupils do not learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that all subject leaders are equipped with the skills required to monitor effectively the impact of the intended curriculum.
