What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not made clear what pupils will learn and how this develops. In these subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders must identify precisely what they want pupils to know and remember in all curriculum subjects.
- In some subjects, leaders do not have a precise understanding of what pupils know and remember. This means that their plans for improving these subjects are not as well focused as their plans for other subjects. Leaders must ensure that all subject leaders develop a precise understanding of the extent of pupils' learning so that they can make well-grounded improvements to the curriculum.
