What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not enable pupils to regularly revisit their learning from previous terms and years. This means that, sometimes, pupils struggle to remember some of their previous learning. The school should ensure that pupils revisit and remember their prior learning so that they can build on what they know as they move through the curriculum.
