Strengths

To improve

  • “In a few subjects, significant knowledge for pupils has not been clearly defined.”
  • “As a result, the curriculum in these subjects does not consistently help pupils to develop a thorough understanding.”
  • “Leaders need to refine curriculum thinking in these subjects to ensure that what pupils should learn is explicit.”
