Quiz answers

The answers to the quiz...

1. HT - Head Teacher (that's an easy one to start off with!)
2. GB - Governing Body
3. SIP - School Improvement Plan
4. PANDA - Performance and Assessment Report - this is produced by Ofsted for your school
5. SEN - Special Educational Needs (the co-ordinator is the SENCO)
6. NQT - Newly Qualified Teacher
7. FSM - Free School Meals
8. EAL - English as an Additional Language (when I was at school this was ESL - English as a Second Language. I suppose some pupils might have English as their third language though...)
9. NPQH - National Professional Qualification for Headship - you want your HT to have this!
10. PTR - Pupil Teacher Ratio

Quite a handful. There are others, but I shaln't bore you with them unless they come up in future events.
