What the school should improve
- In reading, a small number of older pupils have gaps in their phonics knowledge. The extra support and teaching they receive is not as precise or as carefully monitored as the interventions younger pupils receive. This means these pupils do not develop their phonics knowledge as quickly as possible. The school should ensure that all pupils who struggle with reading receive effective support to develop their phonics knowledge.
- In a few subjects, older pupils have some gaps in their prior knowledge. They have not been taught some important knowledge. The school should ensure that new curriculums, and the way these are implemented, address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
