What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not routinely check the learning of all pupils. Teachers do not check that pupils who do not confidently volunteer answers to questions have understood the important knowledge. Some pupils may not be learning, or understanding, what has been taught. Teachers need to check that all pupils are learning, and they need to help those pupils who have misconceptions.
- Leaders have planned ambitious curriculums for all subjects. In some subjects, curriculum plans do not precisely identify the knowledge that pupils should learn. In these subjects, leaders cannot accurately check how well pupils are learning the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that curriculum plans identify the knowledge that they want pupils to learn and how they expect teachers to check learning.
