What the school should improve
- The curriculum for some subjects has been recently revised and is in the early stages of implementation. This means that for some pupils there are gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to continue their work on curriculum implementation so that pupils are enabled to secure their learning and deepen their understanding better.
- Some subject leaders are new to role and do not yet have the skills to monitor the areas they lead effectively. This means that they do not have a secure understanding of the impact that learning sequences have on pupils' learning. The school should ensure that the subject leaders are supported to monitor the impact of the intended curriculum on what pupils know, can do and remember.
