What the school should improve

  • Where changes to the curriculum are more recent, what pupils should know and remember is less well established than in other areas of the curriculum. This has a negative impact on what some pupils can recall about their learning. The school needs to continue to develop the curriculum so that pupils develop the same depth of knowledge.
