What the school should improve
- Leaders have designed and implemented a curriculum that matches the breadth of the national curriculum. However, in a few foundation subjects, the curriculum is not ambitious enough. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could in those areas. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is suitably ambitious, enabling pupils to know more and remember more in all subjects.
