To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not coherently sequenced.”
- “This means that, sometimes, pupils do not develop a secure understanding of the curriculum.”
- “However, for a small number of pupils, this support lacks precision, which slows their progress in building reading fluency and confidence.”
