What the school should improve
- Approaches to assessment are inconsistent. In some subjects, the school is slow to use assessment information to swiftly adapt, refine and intervene for learners who have not secured the curriculum content. This means that some pupils, including those with SEND, do not deepen their knowledge and understanding as well as they could. The school should ensure that assessment consistently assists teachers in making further adaptions to subsequent teaching and ensure swift interventions for pupils, including those with SEND, to close gaps in pupils' knowledge rapidly.
- In some subjects, the school has not evaluated the delivery and impact of the curriculum effectively. Some monitoring and evaluation activities lack rigour, focus and challenge. This hinders some pupils' achievements, including pupils with SEND, in these subjects. The school should ensure that they check how well the curriculum is being implemented, to ensure that any shortcomings can be swiftly implemented so that all pupils can achieve their potential.
