Strengths

- “Pupils benefit from a well-designed curriculum that is supporting them to know and remember more.”
To improve
- “New leaders quickly recognised that the previous curriculum did not support pupils to achieve well enough.”

- “This means some pupils have gaps in knowledge as a result of the previous curriculum.”
