What the school should improve
- Occasionally, in a few subjects, teachers do not deliver the curriculum as effectively as they could. From time to time, this hinders some pupils from deepening their knowledge and enhancing their skills. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers are fully equipped to a deliver the intended curriculum successfully.
- Some pupils do not read as widely, or as often, as they should. This impacts on a few pupils' ability to access some wider aspects of the curriculum. The school should encourage these pupils to read more regularly. The school should also ensure that pupils develop their appreciation of the work of a wider range of writers.
