What the school should improve
- Assessment in the foundation subjects is not precise enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well over time. The trust needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively to check on pupils' understanding and use this information to inform future learning.
