Ofsted report
“A key factor is teachers’ ability to plan effective strategies that ensure active learning, promote confidence and independence, and engage all students in their learning. This is especially evident in sixth-form lessons. Another factor is that many teachers skilfully pose questions which require students to reply in detail, explain their responses and extend their thinking.”
