What the school should improve
- Improvements to the curriculum and assessment are less established in some subjects than in others. This means that pupils do not benefit equally from these improvements across all subject areas. The school should support subject leaders to continue refining the planning, delivery and assessment of the curriculum so that these positive changes are fully embedded in all subjects.
