What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, pupils find it difficult to make links between what they already know and new learning. As a result, pupils' knowledge in these subjects is not as deep as it should be. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects provides pupils with knowledge and skills to make links between new learning and what they already know.
