What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, curriculum leaders do not know how well their subjects are implemented. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Senior leaders should ensure that curriculum leaders have the expertise to make checks on improving provision in their subject areas.
- In some subjects, staff expectations about what pupils can achieve are not high enough. Some pupils do not take enough pride in their work and mistakes are not always addressed. Leaders should ensure that staff understand the school's expectations for pupils' work and these are applied consistently well.
