Strengths

- “Pupils live up to this expectation.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects the curriculum does not identify precisely what is crucial for pupils to learn.”
- “In the early years, this means children do not always acquire the detailed knowledge they need to prepare them well for Year 1.”
- “However, where subject curriculums are newer, pupils sometimes have gaps in their learning.”
