What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not given sufficient thought to the essential knowledge that pupils must learn and in what order this should be taught. This hinders teachers from designing learning that builds pupils' knowledge securely. The school should ensure that teachers have the information that they need to shape teaching and to enable all pupils to achieve well.
