What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the precise knowledge that pupils need to know. This means that some teachers do not have a clear overview of how pupils' learning should build cumulatively over time. The school should ensure that it is very clear what needs to be taught and how knowledge should build over time in these subjects.
- In some subjects, the assessment systems are in the early stages of implementation. This means that teachers do not have the information they need about gaps or misconceptions in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that assessment systems are embedded so that teachers can identify what pupils do and do not know and fill any gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- In some subjects, the school does not have a clear oversight of how the curriculum is being implemented. Consequently, areas for development are not consistently identified and addressed. The school should ensure that there are robust systems in place to enable any areas for curriculum development to be identified and addressed.
