Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should ensure that staff provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to revisit the most important knowledge and vocabulary in subjects beyond reading, writing and mathematics so that pupils are supported to strengthen and remember key learning in the long term"; "Leaders should ensure that checks of what pupils understand in subjects other than English, mathematics and science successfully identify misconceptions and gaps in pupils' learning, so that these are quickly addressed before new learning is introduced"; "Leaders should further evaluate and refine how they check the impact of the curriculum so that they can be assured that pupils know more and remember more over time across the curriculum".
