What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the continuous provision in key stage 1 is sufficiently ambitious for all pupils. As a result, some pupils do not consolidate and extend their learning as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that all pupils gain from a suitably ambitious curriculum, thus enabling all pupils to know, remember and do more.
