What the school should improve
- Assessment is not used with enough precision to check what pupils know and remember. As a result, learning is not adapted as necessary. The school needs to further develop its approach to assessment across the curriculum. This will help teachers to adapt learning so that pupils deepen their understanding.
- Some parents say that communication from the school and trust is not effective. As a result, parents do not always feel well informed about their child's education. The school and trust must work more effectively with parents so that they are aware of the work the school is doing to support their child.
