What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders are still developing some aspects of their leadership roles, particularly how well the curriculum is being implemented, including in the early years. As a result, they are not yet identifying precisely what is going well and what actions are needed to improve the delivery of the curriculum further. Senior leaders should provide subject leaders with support and training to improve their skills in monitoring the implementation of the curriculum so they can identify how it could be developed further.
