What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not as well embedded as in other subjects. As a result, how well pupils learn in these subjects is not as strong as it could be. The school should continue to develop the curriculum so that learning in all subjects is well sequenced and taught effectively.
- The writing curriculum is not yet fully developed. As a result, the quality of pupils' writing and their ability to edit their work could be better. The school should establish meaningful opportunities for pupils to write for different purposes and audiences at length.
