What the school should improve
- Teachers do not consistently check pupils' understanding in mathematics and English lessons. In these lessons, the curriculum is not adapted well to meet pupils' needs, leading to a lack of attention from some pupils. As a result, these pupils develop gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that teachers consistently check pupils' understanding and attention in lessons so that any errors and misconceptions can be addressed in a timely manner.
