To improve
- “In a few subjects, however, the school's approaches to checking pupils' learning are not as embedded and purposeful.”
- “This means that assessment information does not consistently give leaders the insights needed to adjust the curriculum and make sure that high standards are maintained.”
- “At times, leaders’ processes for evaluating the impact of their work in a few areas are not sufficiently robust.”
