What the school should improve
- Pupils who have fallen behind with their reading are not catching up quickly enough. As a result, they have gaps in their learning and are not well prepared for their next steps. The school should ensure that pupils who have fallen behind with their reading receive the support they need to achieve well.
- There are some instances when the subject content is not taught as well as intended. This means that on those occasions pupils do not gain as much knowledge as they could. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to teach the range of subjects effectively.
