What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 April 2023
Pupils at this diverse, inclusive school enjoying learning and are kept safe. They learn in a purposeful, kind and respectful environment. Pupils respond well to staff's high expectations for learning and behaviour. Pupils' behaviour is orderly and calm and rarely disturbs the learning of others. Pupils understand what bullying is. They know what to do should it happen. Staff deal with the rare instances of bullying that occur swifty and appropriately. Pupils are supportive and accepting of one another. Pupils' learning in English and mathematics is given a high priority. They enjoy studying a curriculum that is broad and interesting. Pupils requiring additional support are assisted by well-trained additional adults who encourage independence and focus. Pupils enjoy and learn a lot from the visits and visitors that make the most of the many opportunities that exist locally. They achieve well and leave Year 6 ready for learning at secondary school. Pupils experience life beyond Ridgefield through clubs and wider opportunities in sport, music, charity, nature, politics and the local community. Pupils' voice is heard through the elected school council and school ambassadors. Members take their responsibilities seriously when representing the views of their peers.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always use assessment effectively to identify when pupils are ready to learn more challenging knowledge. This means that some pupils do not progress through the curriculum as quickly as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers routinely use assessment to identify when pupils are ready to move on to new learning.
