Ofsted  

“Most teaching enables students to achieve well. Teachers and support staff work hard to meet the needs of their students by providing engaging and varied activities that build sequentially and promote their understanding. Teachers are working hard to support students’ literacy and numeracy skills including through the ‘ready to learn’ sessions at the start of the day, which include opportunities for problem solving and private reading”.
