Strengths

To improve
- “This is not yet the case in a few subjects where leaders have not thought clearly about the knowledge they want pupils to learn.”
- “However, in other subjects, methods for checking pupils’ understanding are not yet in place.”
- “As a result, some subject leaders do not know how well pupils are achieving.”
