What the school should improve
- The school does not identify and address all of the barriers disadvantaged pupils face with their learning. These pupils do not always achieve outcomes in line with their peers. The school should ensure that a clear, cohesive and consistent strategy supports all staff in their work to secure the best outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.
- The school does not ensure that all pupils have the secure foundational knowledge they need in mathematics. This hinders pupils' ability to build on prior learning and succeed with later learning. The school should ensure that gaps in pupils' foundational knowledge in mathematics are addressed to enable pupils to build on prior learning and succeed with later learning.
