Ofsted
“An expectation that only high-quality teaching is acceptable characterises the very positive attitudes of teachers. They contribute enthusiastically to the whole-school aim of raising standards of teaching and learning, and engage in training activities and share good practice. Teachers regularly give detailed feedback and guidance to help students improve their work.”
