To improve
- “However, pupils’ understanding of different faiths and beliefs in modern Britain, including different places of worship in the UK, is not as secure as it could be.”
- “Pupils' attainment in writing by the end of key stage 2 has not been as closely aligned to their achievement in other curriculum areas, in the past.”
- “However, some younger pupils do not make as rapid an improvement in their handwriting as they could.”
