“Most lessons were well planned and teachers gave clear instructions. In the best lessons teachers increased pupils’ motivation by sharing the purpose of lessons with them. Most teachers provided a range of appropriate activities to stimulate and maintain the interest of pupils… The quality of pupils’ learning experiences was good overall. Pupils felt that they were safe and were encouraged to play a full part in the life of the school.”
