To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified the prior knowledge pupils need to help them learn well.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
- “However, in key stage 1, books do not match the sounds pupils know well enough.”
