Areas for further development:

Leaders and those responsible for governance should ensure that:
​
1.  refine the skills of all subject leaders so they are able to check with greater precision the implementation and impact of improvements in their areas of responsibility.

2. they improve pupils’ progress in English and mathematics, by making sure that the new methods of teaching these subjects become established across the school and are effective.​
