What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the curriculum does not identify the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn. Consequently, pupils do not develop detailed knowledge and skills equally well in all subjects. The school should ensure that the curriculum sets out the key knowledge and skills that pupils should gain, and when, in all subjects.
