To improve
- “Pupils' achievement is variable, but it is showing convincing signs of improvement, particularly for younger children in the early years and key stage 1.”
- “However, on occasion, teachers do not check pupils' understanding before moving on.”
- “This means that some pupils have misconceptions that persist.”
