What the school should improve
- A few foundation subjects are not as well mapped out as they need to be. In these subjects, the main ideas that link knowledge, and the knowledge that pupils need to know and remember, are unclear. This is limiting pupils' capacity to remember more over time and make links to previous learning. The school needs to make sure that all subjects are equally well structured so that pupils can learn equally well across the whole curriculum.
