What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders and staff do not have the subject knowledge necessary to implement the planned curriculum well. Some subject leaders do not have the information they need to monitor the implementation of their subjects effectively. Senior leaders should ensure that subject leaders and staff receive subject- specific professional development in all subject areas.
