What the school should improve
- Occasionally, in one or two subjects, the school does not check that pupils' prior knowledge is secure before moving on to new learning. This hinders some pupils from building up their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge so that they can build on their prior learning.
