What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not set out clearly enough the important knowledge that pupils should learn. This means that teachers do not have the information they need to be able to design lessons that help pupils to build their knowledge over time. The school should ensure that the curriculum sets out the knowledge that pupils should learn and when in each subject.
