What the school should improve

• In a small number of foundation subjects, it is not yet clear what pupils will learn and when. Where this is the case, not all pupils develop a secure understanding of the knowledge they are learning. In these subjects, the school should ensure that there is clarity as to what pupils should learn and when and that the teaching, including through the use of assessment, enables all pupils to gain a secure understanding over time from the early years to Year 6.
