What the school should improve
- On occasion, the school does not make sure that some activities used by teachers are well suited to teaching the school's curriculum. This means that, at times, the school does not help pupils to learn some curriculum content as well as it could. The school should ensure that staff enable pupils to build their knowledge securely.
