1. Leadership must ensure that:
    • Teaching
      • enables all pupils to acquire new knowledge and make good progress according to their ability and does not discriminate23 against pupils or promote partisan political views
      • does not undermine the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
    • A framework is in place to evaluate pupils' work and performance regularly and thoroughly, which refers to:
      • the school's aims as provided to parents, and/or
      • national norms
    • Particulars of the school's academic performance during the preceding school year, including the results of any public examinations, are made available to parents of pupils and prospective pupils.
  2. Leadership must ensure that teachers at the school:
    • plan lessons well
      • demonstrating good knowledge and understanding of the subject matter being taught, and
      • with understanding of the aptitudes, needs and prior attainment of pupils, gained from regular and thorough assessment of pupils' work
    • use effective teaching methods and activities
    • manage class time and pupils' behaviour well
    • use a range of good quality classroom resources well
    so that all pupils acquire new knowledge, increase their understanding, and develop their skills (make good progress) according to their ability in the subjects taught, and
    • are interested in their work
    • apply intellectual, physical and creative effort
    • act responsibly
    • are self-motivated, thinking and learning for themselves.
