“Pupils get the challenge they need because leaders strengthened the curriculum and teachers typically teach it well.”
“‘Do now’ tasks help pupils to reconnect with what they have learned before, preparing them for what comes next.”
“Regular opportunities for pupils to revise the key knowledge, along with clear explanations from teachers, help more pupils to achieve their best.”

“In a few subject areas, pupils are still developing their ability to recall and explain their previous learning in depth.”
“They find it difficult to discuss or record their work independently.”
“Leaders recognise this is an area that needs further development, so pupils can achieve even more and be fully prepared for the next stage of their education.”
