What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, there has not been a precise enough identification of the content of the curriculum or the sequence in which it is taught. As a result, pupils do not build confidently on what they already know or prepare for what comes next. The school should ensure that all subjects are sequenced in a way that supports pupils to build up their knowledge over time.
- In some subjects, the teaching of the curriculum does not support pupils to reach the intended curriculum goals. Therefore, pupils do not build a sufficient depth of knowledge in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to make the right pedagogical choices to teach the curriculum as planned.
