Areas for Improvement

  • Teaching does not routinely check that pupils understand and remember key knowledge before moving to new topics
  • Teaching and resources for pupils with SEND are not consistently adapted to help them access the same ambitious curriculum

  • Occasional inconsistency in staff following the behaviour policy when pupils are less focused
