They should seek continued improvement, overcoming barriers and challenges, in order to drive transformational impact for all pupils. This includes for disadvantaged pupils, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing. Leaders should particularly focus on increasing further pupils' academic outcomes in writing, at the higher standard, by the end of key stage 2".
