What the school should improve
- Some subjects have been reviewed and revised. The new curriculums have not yet been fully implemented. The school should continue to fully evaluate the effectiveness of these curriculum changes on pupils' learning as the revised curriculum embeds.
- Although the process of identifying the needs for pupils with SEND has been strengthened, sometimes this is not leading to the right support being in place for pupils. Some pupils are not building their skills and knowledge as effectively as they could. The school should further develop its systematic process to help ensure pupils with SEND achieve as well as they can.
