Strengths
- “At Ringwood Waldorf, pupils learn to be thoughtful individuals who contribute to their community and the wider world.”
- “The warm and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils are special.”
- “Staff ensure that each pupil is considered in everything they do.”
To improve
- “However, the school’s approach to checking on pupils’ learning to see if they are ready to move on to harder work is not consistently effective.”
- “This can, at times, slow the depth of knowledge that pupils gain.”
- “However, adaptations to meet their individual needs are not securely in place throughout the school.”
