What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not make appropriate choices about lesson content. This means that some pupils do not achieve the highest possible outcomes, particularly in subjects like geography. Subject leaders should ensure that teachers are supported to make appropriate pedagogical choices so that pupils are able to achieve their full potential.
- Some teachers do not adapt the curriculum to help pupils fill gaps in their knowledge in foundation subjects. This means that some pupils do not remember the key content they should. Leaders and teachers should check that pupils have learned the intended curriculum and make necessary adjustments to curriculum teaching where there are gaps in knowledge.
