Extracurricular Activities: Opportunities for pupils to learn through first-hand experiences, plus visits locally and further afield, enhance the curriculum.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers know their pupils well; where teaching is good, pupils work hard and make strong progress.
Impact on Student Progress: Effective teaching sequences are used to develop pupils’ knowledge over time.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Opportunities for professional development enable teachers to develop secure subject knowledge, particularly in English and mathematics.
