Strengths
- “Leaders have established a curriculum that has increasing ambition for pupils.”
- “In subjects such as history, pupils learn well and produce work of good quality.”
- “They remember the most important knowledge that they need.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum for reading does not provide some older pupils with the tuition that they need to practise the most important knowledge and skills.”
- “This means that some older pupils have gaps in their understanding.”
- “This hampers their ability to analyse and answer questions about the texts that they read.”
