What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the school does not build effectively on pupils' prior knowledge. Some pupils do not remember key curriculum content securely, which means they do not deepen their understanding. The school should ensure that pupils are provided with the opportunities they need to build securely on prior learning in order to gain a rich body of knowledge in all subjects.
- At times, the errors that pupils make in their learning, particularly their written work, are not dealt with well enough. Some pupils repeat the same mistakes, which prevents them from achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff support pupils to resolve any misconceptions in their learning and correct any errors in a timely way.
