Areas for Improvement
- Support for pupils who have not kept up with early reading is inconsistent and not as effective as it could be
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the most important knowledge to learn is not clearly defined, with too much content for teachers to meaningfully cover
- Learning activities in some wider curriculum subjects are not focused sharply enough on intended learning, so pupils do not build or deepen knowledge well enough
