Ripley infant school continues to be a good school. Inspection on February 1 and 2 concluded that leaders have developed a broad and well-designed curriculum. Staff have received training to deliver the new phonics programme. However, not all staff teach phonics well. They are not always accurate in their teaching and do not correct pupils when they make mistakes. Most pupils behave well during lessons. Leaders have made changes to lunchtimes because some pupils were finding this busy time hard to cope with, but they have not written support plans for pupils who need extra help with their behaviour.

23. Biggin Church of England Primary School in Buxton
Ofsted Inspection carried out on October 11 concluded that Biggin Church of England Primary continues to be a good school. Inspectors believe pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful and say that bullying does not happen. Staff have high expectations. This includes for those pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Staff knows the pupils and their families very well. They skilfully provide appropriate activities in both mixed-age classes. Photo: Google
The Spire Junior school was rated as 'good' across all the categories during the Ofsted inspection on May 17 and 18, 2021. Inspectors found that leaders have set out an ambitious curriculum in some subjects. Leaders have arranged the curriculum to ensure that pupils build their learning throughout key stage 2. There is a strong culture of reading at the school. The mathematics curriculum is set out so that pupils build their understanding and skills securely. Teachers provide regular opportunities for pupils to recap their knowledge by asking six questions in six minutes. Photo: Google
