Ark Little Ridge Primary Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils are overwhelmingly proud of their school. They really value how staff treat them as individuals. There are warm, supportive relationships between staff and pupils across the school. As a result, pupils flourish and are aspirational in all aspects of their learning. As one pupil stated, 'We all want to be the best we can be.' Behaviour is impeccable. All staff have high expectations, and pupils rise to meet these exceptionally well. They contribute to 'The Little Ridge Way' by consistently being 'at right place, doing the right thing at the right time'. Pupils constantly strive to be a role model for their peers. Staff maximise every opportunity for pupils to take responsibility through leadership roles. These include becoming prefects, playtime buddies, well-being warriors or members of the school council. Pupils also respectfully share their thoughts and opinions with their peers and celebrate each other's differences. In the words of one pupil, 'The world would be boring if everyone was the same.' A diverse club offer ensures that pupils' talents and interests are carefully considered. Pupils enjoy football, netball, multisports, gymnastics, violin and guitar clubs. Staff are diligent in ensuring that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, never miss out.
