Strengths
- “Leaders’ ambition for pupils at Rufforth Primary School is summed up in their vision of ‘excellence in a family atmosphere’.”
- “This ambition is realised through adults’ high expectations of pupils.”
- “Pupils rise to these expectations.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, leaders’ ambitious plans are not fully realised in lessons.”
- “This is because, on some occasions, teachers do not provide pupils with the right opportunities to practise their learning.”
- “Sometimes, this support is not as precise as it could be.”
