Opportunities to revisit previous learning are built into the curriculum. Pupils demonstrate that they can remember what they have learned in previous lessons regularly.’

- Although not actively teaching, it is important for a Cover Supervisor to have the skills and confidence needed to keep the class motivated and focused so they can work on the activities set and prepared for them.
