What the school should improve
- The school does not have consistent systems in place to check pupils' curriculum understanding across all the foundation subjects. As a result, staff do not accurately assess pupils' knowledge in these areas. This limits pupils' readiness for new subject content. The school should ensure that assessment systems are developed and applied consistently to enable leaders and staff to identify and address gaps in pupils' understanding effectively.
- In Reception, sometimes teaching does not help children remember long term what they have been taught. In particular, the school does not develop children's vocabulary and communication skills consistently well. The school should ensure that all adults working in the early years are able to systematically check children's understanding, identify misconceptions and provide clear explanations to improve their learning and spoken language.
