What the school should improve
- Leaders have introduced useful systems to check whether pupils are retaining key knowledge in mathematics. However, during lessons, adults do not check closely enough whether pupils are understanding their learning. Pupils' misconceptions are not consistently identified and corrected in a timely way. This slows pupils' progress. Leaders should ensure that staff check pupils' mathematical understanding.
- In some subjects, key concepts are not planned well enough. Consequently, pupils' knowledge is not as well developed as it could be. Leaders should ensure that the disciplinary knowledge is well sequenced and that systems are in place to check how well pupils are remembering what they have been taught.
