What the school should improve
- In some of the foundation subjects, planned opportunities for pupils to deepen and extend their learning are inconsistently implemented. As a result, learning for some pupils is not always maximised. The school should ensure that the planned opportunities for pupils to deepen and extend their learning are consistently implemented.
