Children in the early years are well prepared for the demands of key stage 1. By the end of Year 6, most pupils are ready for their next stage of education.

- In a few subjects, teachers are unsure of the important knowledge that pupils should learn and when this information should be taught. This hinders some pupils' achievement. Leaders should ensure that they identify the essential knowledge that pupils must learn across all subjects.
