To improve

“However, in a few subjects, such as history and geography, curriculum development is at an earlier stage.”
“Leaders are still working on identifying the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
“This means that pupils do not develop the same depth of knowledge as they do in the majority of subjects.”
