Strengths

- “Pupils benefit from clearly communicated learning routines that promote appropriate behaviour and conduct.”
- “As a result, pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning in lessons and achieve well in many subjects.”
To improve
- “A small number of subjects are in the earlier stages of developing and implementing a high-quality curriculum.”
- “In some subjects, what pupils are to be taught has not yet been precisely identified.”
- “This means that it is not yet clear what knowledge is being taught and assessed.”
