ABSTRACT
It’s difficult to justify a difference of half an hour or more per week between, say, two parallel Year 5 classes. In the course of an inspection, inspectors will look closely at how much maths
Introduction time is available to the children. Do you know? The information could be gathered for all subjects at the same time at a staff meeting when everyone brings their personal class timetable. If you’ve already had an inspection then the calculation may well have been done because inspectors need to know whether the school meets the recommended weekly hours total for the curriculum and this is sometimes totalled from the time given to each subject.
