“Leaders monitor carefully the quality of teachers’ work so that recommendations for pay awards are given close consideration by leaders and governors. Weaker practice is tackled early and is not allowed to continue. New and less experienced teachers, and learning support assistants, are provided with good guidance and support to develop their skills and improve pupils’ learning”.
