To improve

“Short-term staff turbulence, during the last academic year, impacted pupil outcomes in the summer of 2022.”
“However, in a small number of subjects, leaders and teachers are at an early stage of establishing how best to identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
“Assessment in these subjects needs to develop further.”
