What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not yet identified the essential knowledge that pupils should learn. In these subjects, the knowledge that pupils learn is not always linked to what came before and what comes next. Leaders must identify this knowledge so that pupils are able to build cumulative knowledge.
- Teaching does not always match pupils' individual starting points. Consequently, not all pupils build on what they already know, which slows their learning. Leaders must ensure that assessment is used effectively to help pupils know more and remember more of the curriculum.
