Strengths
- “Pupils take pride in being part of Rydon Primary School.”
- “They attend regularly, behave well and benefit from a wide range of experiences.”
- “Pupils learn from a broad and balanced curriculum which helps them to build their knowledge over time.”
To improve
- “This ambition is not always matched to the same level in the wider curriculum.”
- “This means, on occasion, that some pupils do not complete work at the standard of which they are capable.”
- “However, at times, staff's interactions with children do not focus clearly on language development.”
