What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not have the subject-specific knowledge to deliver the intended curriculum as well as they should. This means that pupils' learning is less secure in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers gain the subject knowledge they need in these subjects to deliver the intended learning.
