Pupils are encouraged to demonstrate the ‘ways of being Co-op’ in all that they do.” “Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They use their expertise to help pupils to learn well in lessons. Teachers who are not specialists in a subject receive appropriate and effective subject-specific training. This enables these teachers to deliver the curriculum equally well.” “Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum that they want all pupils to learn, including those with SEND.
