What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not precisely identified the knowledge and skills it wants pupils to acquire. This means that pupils' progression through the curriculum is not always clearly mapped, meaning they do not always progress at the pace they are capable of. The school should continue to review the curriculum and develop clarity in plans.
