Lesson that I delivered that was rated Outstanding by performing arts specialist Ofsted inspector and an SLT member. They particularly liked the stretch and challenge of G&T students as directors. The evidence of progress over time was partly due to journals and the fact that G&T students were clearly used to being in the ‘director’ role.
