What the school should improve
- Assessments of pupils' learning are not consistently addressed. This leads to gaps in pupils' knowledge in some subjects and affects how well some pupils achieve in these subjects. The school should make sure that gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding are addressed fully.
- For some pupils with SEND, the curriculum is not adapted successfully to meet their needs. This means that some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff adapt the curriculum successfully to support pupils with SEND effectively.
