Ofsted report
“Since the previous monitoring inspection, leaders have developed their pupil progress reviews effectively to monitor the quality of teaching with greater precision. Leaders are using their accurate understanding of the quality of teaching to identify where teaching is stronger and to support teaching that is weaker. There are a number of ‘coaches’ who are now beginning to share their best practice with other staff.”
