Strengths
- “Ruskin Academy is a school where pupils flourish.”
- “Pupils arrive promptly at school each day and their attendance is high.”
- “They engage readily with their peers, enjoy each other’s company, and show everyone respect.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, pupils do not have enough time to secure their learning before they move on.”
- “When this happens, pupils muddle up precise details and struggle to remember important facts.”
- “However, a few pupils who are in the early stages of learning to read, including some with SEND, do not get the help they need.”
