Strengths

To improve

- “In some areas of the curriculum, including in the early years, the small steps of learning are not yet identified.”
- “As a result, teaching does not always focus precisely on the important knowledge or vocabulary that children in the early years or pupils in key stages 1 and 2 need to learn.”
