Areas for Improvement
- Some subjects other than English and mathematics do not have curriculum designs that support pupils to learn as well as they could
- Assessment systems in non-core subjects are not as well developed, meaning teachers sometimes do not check pupils have secured important knowledge
- Pupils sometimes struggle to connect earlier knowledge with current learning in some subjects
- Governance checks to ensure pupils achieve well across all curriculum areas could be more robust
Safeguarding
