School Times
Our School Day at Exhall Cedars
Within the classrooms teachers vary the methods of teaching used to suit the subject, ability and maturity of the children concerned. Class teachers aim to identify and cater for the needs of all children, and children may be placed in various types of groupings to ensure this is successful.
