    Published 14/12/17

    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”.
