Success of the Curriculum: The new leadership team has designed a well-sequenced curriculum. However, it is not always well implemented.
Areas Needing Improvement: Leaders need to ensure staff understand how pupils' learning should build in each subject.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Pupils are not achieving as well as they could across the school.
Support for Falling Behind: The support given to pupils who are finding learning to read difficult does not always help them to catch up.
