Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy school and get a good education at The Ridge.”
- “They work hard and achieve well, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “This is because teachers adapt tasks to ensure all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can complete the work set.”
To improve
- “While changes in staffing did not affect outcomes, some parents feel that the number of temporary teachers pupils had in some year groups, including in Kindergarten, unsettled their children.”
- “Some are also concerned about the inconsistency in the leadership of special educational needs provision.”
- “However, systems are not yet established to check where gaps exist and how well pupils embed the planned curriculum.”
