School life at Ark Little Ridge

Rated OUTSTANDING

Following our recent section 5 inspection, Ark Little Ridge was graded Outstanding in all five areas: Quality of education, Behaviour and attitudes, Personal Development, Leadership and Management, EYFS.

The report highlighted how overwhelmingly proud the pupils are of their school, how they flourish and are aspirational in all aspects of their learning. Right from Reception, children are eager to learn. The high achievement of pupils is reflected in the high-quality work produced, while the carefully considered personal development program helps pupils to explore concepts such as diversity and acceptance.
