What the school should improve

• Occasionally, the essential knowledge that pupils should know and remember is not clear. Where this is the case, activity choices do not focus on making sure pupils learn the information required. Leaders should ensure the essential knowledge for pupils to learn is clear so that activity choices enable pupils to learn the required information.
• Sometimes, checks on learning do not assess how well pupils learn important information. As a result, underlying gaps in knowledge sometimes go unnoticed and unaddressed for longer than necessary. Leaders should ensure checks on what pupils have learned identify and swiftly address precise gaps in knowledge.
