The Priory Ruskin Academy will be open tomorrow Monday 5th March 2018. 

After careful consideration regarding the current and worsening weather conditions and taking into account our primary concern for student, staff and parent safety, The Priory Ruskin Academy will be closed on Thursday March 1st.

 

Well done to all Ruskin students who took part in the Grantham Rotary Swimarathon on Saturday morning. Students managed to swim a total of 902 lengths and the atmosphere in the Meres was electric...so thanks to our supporters!

We are delighted that Arts Council England has officially awarded The Priory Ruskin Academy the Gold level Artsmark award in celebration of our commitment to arts and cultural education at a leadership level and the opportunities embedded across the Academy. The award recognises that our students have equal opportunity to plan, experience, participate in, and evaluate a diverse range of high-quality arts and cultural activities, as well as our partnerships with a wide variety of arts and cultural organisations.

We are delighted to announce that Ruskin has been judged “outstanding” following our recent Ofsted inspection. The Academy was praised by inspectors for its “ambitious culture that encourages all pupils to achieve very highly, both academically and in their personal development”. The inspectors found teaching to be of “high quality” and noted the “passion that pupils should achieve well” resulting in students making “very strong progress across the curriculum”. Student behaviour was commended with inspectors stating that “Pupils’ behaviour is excellent” and that “Pupils are highly ambitious. They want to do well”. Inspectors recognised the rounded nature of students’ educational experience at the Academy noting the “wide ranging extra-curricular and enrichment activities” as well as the benefit students get from the Academy’s commitment to spiritual, moral , social and cultural development. An accolade to the Academy’s culture, the inspectors judged that “crucial to pupils’ outstanding personal development, behaviour and welfare” is “the culture of respect and the positive relationships that underpin the school’s work”.
