What the school should improve
- Sometimes assessment information is not used consistently well. This means that, on occasion, checks on pupils' understanding are not secure. As a result, some pupils move on to new learning before they are ready, while others do not receive work that is ambitious enough. The school needs to ensure that appropriate checks are used effectively to give pupils the right level of work, so that pupils achieve well in all subjects.
- Opportunities for pupils to learn about events that may affect them are limited. Pupils do not have enough chances to learn about the wider world and broaden their horizons. The school needs to make sure that the curriculum is supported by suitable experiences designed to enhance pupils' learning.
