“Staff Collegiality is central to all teaching and learning. The staff plans and executes schemes of work together, sharing resources and expertise. Team teaching has been introduced, opening up new possibilities for teaching and responding to individual student needs.
School Planning and School Self-Evaluation is carried out in a process involving all staff. Each member of staff has an important contribution to this process.”
