1. Consistency
2. Differentiation, specifically ‘Teach to the top’

We believe that using the ACED framework will support us to
be a great school with great outcomes. Three questions, I ask
every teacher to consider when planning and delivering
lessons are:
Are all pupils being challenged?
Are all pupils making progress?
Are all pupils at least engaged and at best inspired?
