What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, the school has not yet identified the key knowledge that it wants pupils to learn. In these subjects pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that the key knowledge that pupils should learn is identified and that the delivery of the curriculum ensures that pupils learn and remember it.
