To improve
- “In less developed subjects, the information from the checks teachers make is not always used to ensure that pupils learn and practise the right skills at the right time.”
- “In addition, the way the curriculum is taught does not always help pupils to securely build their knowledge and skills.”
- “Consequently, some pupils do not always build knowledge as coherently as they could.”
