What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school does not check in enough detail how well the curriculum is being implemented. Some teachers do not select the most appropriate activities to help pupils to acquire new information. This means that some pupils are not making the progress in these subjects that they might. The school should check that the curriculum is being delivered as intended so that pupils know and remember more across all subjects.
