Ofsted report
“In outstanding lessons students were fully engrossed in their learning. Teachers set tasks that were exactly what students needed, thoroughly checked that they were understanding and could apply their learning to the task in hand. Students were liberated and not constrained by the learning objectives. Teachers gave time in these lessons for students to analyse what they were doing, reflect and strengthen their learning.”
