Estyn
“Many teachers have strong subject knowledge. They provide pupils with helpful support during lessons and foster positive working relationships. In the majority of lessons, teachers plan appropriately and provide activities that build successfully on pupils’ prior learning. They question pupils effectively and match activities well to the needs and interests of pupils of different abilities. In these lessons, many pupils make suitable progress.”
