What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not routinely identify pupils' misconceptions promptly. As a result, sometimes they do not pick up on errors or use these to address gaps in pupils' learning. The school needs to ensure that all staff check learning carefully so that learning builds on what pupils already know and gaps in pupils' knowledge are identified and addressed swiftly.
