What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the key knowledge pupils should learn is not always clear. As a result, some of the learning activities teachers use do not always support pupils in learning this important knowledge. Some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the key knowledge pupils should learn is Aided Primary School 3 clear so that teachers can plan activities to help pupils learn this important knowledge.
- At times, the school's monitoring of how well the curriculum is implemented is not as systematic and precise as it could be. This means that inconsistencies in how the curriculum is delivered are not always addressed. The school should ensure that it systematically checks how well the curriculum is implemented to identify exactly what needs to be improved.
