Rufford Primary and Nursery School was inspected in January 2024 and continues to be a good school. There are some lovely comments in the report 'They benefit from the good quality of education that the school provides' The school is working hard, and effectively, to make sure pupils with SEND achieve as well as they can.
Pupils develop their leadership skills and become increasingly independent. We shall continue to work on lesson design and ensuring all pupils understand what respectful behaviours are.
