What Ofsted said

What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teaching does not consistently check what pupils already know. As a result, sometimes lessons are not well adjusted to address gaps and help pupils to secure new ideas. The school should ensure that staff use assessment effectively in these subjects so that pupils achieve as well.
