What the school should improve
- Some curriculum plans do not identify the important knowledge that pupils should learn. In some lessons, teachers do not focus learning activities on the important knowledge sharply enough. Leaders need to ensure that curriculum plans identify key knowledge and that lessons support pupils to know and remember that knowledge.
- Too many pupils, including vulnerable pupils and pupils with SEND, do not attend school well. They do not benefit from the ambitious curriculum that the school offers. Leaders need to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
