What the school should improve
- New subject leaders are still developing some aspects of their leadership skills, particularly in checking how well the curriculum is being implemented. As a result, they have not yet provided clear guidance to teachers about how to improve the teaching of some subjects. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders have the skills and expertise they need to lead their subjects and support teachers effectively.
- Teachers do not always adapt learning well enough to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. Some pupils with SEND cannot always access learning as well as they should. They do not make as much progress as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide pupils with SEND with precise support to help them achieve well.
