Strengths

To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, the activities that pupils undertake do not consistently help them to achieve the aims of the highly ambitious curriculum.”
- “Consequently, pupils’ knowledge is not as secure in this small number of subjects.”
- “While some pupils access after-school activities, these are somewhat limited.”
