Please note, it is a legal requirement to respond to Freedom of Information requests.

Good afternoon Mr Knights,
Apologies for the delay in responding to your request for information. I
hope you understand that it was necessary to obtain advice from the
county's legal department.
I would like to confirm that as we are a primary school, we do not count
in number of lessons but in sessions. There are 2 sessions per day
(morning and afternoon).
During the week of November 13th 2017, all sessions were taught by
qualified staff with appropriate qualifications.
I trust that this answers your query.
Regards
Mrs Alison Howells
Headteacher
Dear St Mary's Admin,
Please could you tell me total number of lessons and any lessons taken by staff without QTS.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Knights
