Strengths

To improve
- “Despite the work of leaders and other staff, however, too many pupils are still persistently absent.”
- “However, in a minority of subjects, the curriculum is not yet fully embedded.”
- “This means that some pupils do not develop a deep understanding of what they need to be ready for the next stage in their education.”
