What the school should improve
- The key knowledge and content that pupils need to learn in some subjects is not sufficiently well considered and sequenced, unlike in other areas of the curriculum. In these subjects, it is not yet fully clear what pupils should learn and by when, to build their knowledge over time. Leaders should ensure that curriculum thinking for all subjects sets out precisely the knowledge that all pupils, including those with SEND, should know and by when.
- Staff regularly check what pupils know in the core subjects. However, leaders have not developed assessment systems for the foundation subjects. As a result, teachers do not regularly check how successfully pupils access the wider curriculum. Leaders need to develop a consistent approach to assessment in the wider curriculum subjects and ensure that the use of assessment does not place unnecessary burdens on staff or pupils.
