What the school should improve
- The school has not identified the small steps of knowledge that it wants pupils to know and remember in some subjects. This means that staff are less secure in the delivery of the curriculum, and pupils do not build the same depth of knowledge as they do in the more established subjects. The school should refine the curriculum and ensure that staff know exactly what pupils need to learn and how best to implement it, so pupils learn well over time in all subjects.
- The actions that the school has taken to improve persistent absence are relatively new. They have not yet had the impact on individual pupils' attendance. Consequently, these pupils miss out on important learning and their progress is hindered. The school and trust need to ensure that actions taken are fully embedded so that persistent absence is reduced.
