What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the knowledge and skills that pupils should acquire and when this should be taught. This makes it difficult for teachers to check whether pupils have understood and remembered their learning over time. The school should determine the knowledge that pupils should learn and when this should happen.
- A number of parents feel that the communication from the school could be improved. This aspect is placing a strain on the relationship that some parents have with the school. The school should work with parents to increase the relevance, timeliness and effectiveness of existing communication.
