What the school should improve
- Assessment in some foundation subjects does not provide precise information about what pupils know and remember over time. As a result, the school is not able to fully identify the curriculums' impact and where they might be improved further. The school should continue to refine assessment practices to check that the curriculum is having the impact it should.
