Strengths

• The curriculum is well-designed to help pupils build on prior learning, with teachers delivering it effectively to help pupils “learn and remember more.”

Areas to improve

• Some pupils do not produce “high-quality written work,” specifically failing to spell key words correctly or use correct punctuation.
