Waiting for an internal review by Tylorstown Primary School, Rhondda of their handling of this request.

Dear Tylorstown Primary School, Rhondda,

Please could you supply the following information-

For the week beginning December 4th 2017. The total number of lessons taught in the school for those five school days.

The total number of lessons where a qualified teacher was not present and unqualified staff were there during the lesson i.e., cover supervisors, teaching assistants. Please note this should NOT include any lessons taken by students on a teacher training course.

If there is a problem estimating lesson numbers from the Foundation Stage then please exclude them from this request.

Yours faithfully,
