What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not use the most effective strategies to check how well pupils are learning the curriculum. This means that some pupils are not supported to learn as well as they could. The school needs to improve teachers' pedagogical knowledge so that they can support all pupils to know and remember more and learn well across the whole curriculum.
