    • Use teaching methods that keep pupils engaged, including stimulating curiosity, effective questioning and response, clear presentation, and good use of resources.
    • Secure high standards of pupil behaviour through well-focused teaching, establishing appropriate rules which pupils respect, and dealing with inappropriate behaviour in line with the behaviour policy.
