What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the work and support that pupils receive does not enable them to develop secure and detailed knowledge of the subject matter that is being taught. This hinders some pupils from acquiring the depth of knowledge that they need to be fully prepared for new learning. The school should ensure that teachers design learning that helps pupils to learn the subject content securely so that they are ready for the next steps in their learning.
