Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to attend this school.”
- “They strive to embody the ‘Ringshall Circle,’ which focuses on pupils learning to be awesome, kind and to believe in themselves.”
- “They know discrimination is not tolerated and learn to celebrate cultural differences.”
To improve
- “When this is the case, the planning and implementation of the curriculum in a few subjects are not as effective as they could be.”
- “Some lessons are not adapted to the needs of the pupils.”
- “This means that not all pupils retain the knowledge and skills they need to make strong progress.”
