What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not set out the key knowledge that pupils must learn. Nor have they specified the sequence in which this knowledge should be taught. As a result, some pupils do not develop the secure understanding that they need in these subjects to build a strong foundation for future learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers know exactly what to teach and when to teach it.
