Strengths
- “Pupils at Ripponden Junior and Infant School are proud of their school.”
- “They say that they feel happy and safe here.”
- “Pupils enjoy being part of the school ‘family’.”
To improve
- “However, this precision in planning is not consistent in all classes or subjects.”
- “In other subjects, there is more to do to identify the important knowledge that leaders want pupils to remember.”
- “This means that, in these subjects, teachers are less clear about what they should teach and when they should teach it.”
