Strengths
- “At Ryders Green Primary School, leaders have high aspirations for what pupils can achieve.”
- “The school motto, ‘make the most of a child’s one chance’ is realised.”
- “Pupils flourish both academically and socially.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have not ensured that these targets are precise enough.”
- “It is unclear on most pupils’ review sheets what staff need to do to help pupils achieve their targets or how they will know if pupils have achieved them.”
- “This limits some pupils’ progress in overcoming some barriers to learning.”
