What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not always choose the most appropriate activities that enable pupils to learn the most essential knowledge. As a result, not all pupils grasp this knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that in all subjects, teachers consistently use activities which match the intended learning.
- Some pupils with SEND do not receive the precise support that they need. Teachers do not receive clear enough information that will help pupils with SEND achieve as well as they should. Leaders should provide teachers with precise information about how to support pupils with SEND so that they progress well through the curriculum.
