Strengths

- “Leaders have designed a curriculum across all subjects that is broad and balanced.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, leaders’ curriculum thinking is less well developed.”

- “While leaders provide a range of regular professional development opportunities for staff, teachers have some gaps in their subject knowledge in a few subjects.”
