What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, the learning activities that teachers choose do not support pupils to secure the knowledge they should learn. As a result, pupils' learning in some subjects is not as strong, or deep as it should be. The school should ensure that all staff have the expertise to develop or choose activities that support pupils effectively to learn the curriculum as intended.
