Strengths
- “Ribston is a kind and caring school.”
- “Pupils and students flourish and succeed here.”
- “Success, in all its forms, is celebrated by staff and pupils alike.”
To improve
- “However, leaders do not have an interconnected approach to monitoring and evaluating the impact of the school's provision on pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils.”
- “This includes the need to use information more precisely to assess the impact of their actions.”
- “Leaders recognise that a more systematic approach to monitoring the quality of sixth-form provision would strengthen their oversight and help to bring about further improvements.”
