Dear Mr Knights

I refer to your request for information relating to the number of lessons
taught in Aberdare Community School for week beginning 15th January 2018;
and those where a qualified teacher was not present and unqualified staff
were there during the lesson.

There are 1,330 lessons taught per week across the school. For w/c 18th
January, 37 lessons were covered by cover supervisors. That equates to
2.78%

Regards.
