for promoting the child’s progress and welfare. As a government requirement, each week the class is taught for one session by a regular cover teacher to enable year group teachers to Plan, Prepare and Assess (PPA). There will be other occasions, however, when they will be taught by other teachers who may have specific expertise appropriate to the child’s needs (e.g. music, maths, pottery, special needs) or to cover some teachers’ management time.
