should be able to recall it.
•
Show off what you know – if you’re ‘Outstanding’ show them
everything that makes you ‘Outstanding’. If there are area for
development, admit it before they ask and show them/talk
them through your development plan.
•
Make sure ALL staff and pupils are prepared – including TAs and
