What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to remember. Pupils cannot always recall previous learning to apply to their new knowledge, which slows their progress. Leaders must ensure that, in all subjects, the curriculum sets out the important knowledge that pupils must learn so they build knowledge well and remember more.
  • Assessment information in some subjects is not used effectively by leaders to check and plan for pupils' learning. This means that gaps in pupils' learning are not always identified. Leaders need to check that assessment information is used strategically to improve pupil outcomes.
