What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not use assessment strategies as well as they could to adapt future learning. This hinders some teachers from rectifying misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge quickly. Leaders should continue to refine their approach to assessment in these subjects to support teachers to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge
