What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not clearly identify the gaps in pupils' knowledge at the end of units of learning. As a result, in these subjects, pupils are sometimes not fully secure in their understanding of some of the important knowledge essential for their future learning. Leaders should ensure that, in all subjects, teachers employ accurate and effective assessment procedures to identify gaps in pupils' learning and use this information to provide effective and timely support for pupils.
