What the school should improve

• In some subjects, some pupils spend too long on work that does not deepen their learning. They repeat work they have covered before. This means that they do not develop their knowledge and build on what they already know. As a result, some pupils could achieve even more than they do. Leaders should ensure that teachers know what pupils have learned before, so that they can build on and extend pupils' knowledge.
