What the school should improve
- Currently, leaders' ambitious curriculum intent is not fully embedded for a small number of foundation subjects. In some subjects, the activities that teachers choose do not fully support pupils in learning the intended knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not develop a depth of understanding in all subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers' activity choices enable pupils to learn the intended knowledge.
