So much has happened whilst the school was only open to children of Key workers and vulnerable families . The nursery is complete , but this has become one key worker classroom , with the other being the drama studio. Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the new build has finished. Unfortunately , the new Year 1 classes have become temporary classrooms for Reception.
Come September, Reception and Nursery will have beautiful classrooms and learning spaces in which their curiosity will be inspired. Below are images of the new nursery.
Year 1 will be based on the ground floor and their classrooms will be where the old Main entrance was and the resource room - there has been a complete transformation.

The new Year 1 classrooms kitted out for Reception. |  |
And now phase 3 where the reception classroom will be knocked through to the old nursery space to create a learning space that totally caters to the needs of EYFS.
We are all very excited to return in September to see the amazing transformation.
Ranelagh missed their annual poetry recital, so our fabulous English lead , Ms Scott ,set the children of Ranelagh a task - to recite their favourite poem. You can see the amazing readings here.
As you can imagine it was an incredibly difficult job for Ms Scott to choose her favourite - so she didn't. Every child here is a winner. You can also see Mrs Lawrenson reciting Brian's Picnic here
Young Writers is a platform for children to share their musings, stories and poetry. One of our very own students, Adele from 4T3, has received an award and this amazing piece will be published in an anthology.
The award was for her poem SOS which asks us to reflect on the damage that we are doing to our planet. Adele was asked why she wrote the poem, she stated, “ I was inspired to write this poem because I want everyone to realise the urgency to save our planet. Time is ticking."
A huge congratulations from everyone at Ranelagh.
Ranelagh was awash with famous book characters to celebrate Ranelagh's love of reading.
Can you guess who they are?

Recently, Year 6 have been studying Inua Ellams’s magical retelling of, The Little Prince, the much loved story by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. On Thursday 30th January, Year 6 were lucky enough to be invited to watch a performance of the story, directed by Femi Elufowoju jr, at Stratford Circus. This is part of Ranelagh's commitment to ensure Every Child ia a Theatre Goer.
Long gone are the days of 'Quiet please ' and a bespectacled lady dressed in tweed shushing people in the library. Now, it’s an exciting place where you can not only take out the latest newly released books, but you can take part in a range of exciting clubs such as Story telling, Computer coding and Move It to Music.

On the 18th December 2019, the School Council along with our Chair of the TTLT Trustees, Margaret Cameron Ratchford, Chair of Ranelagh Governors Rob Sewell and parent governor Rosie Murdoch were allowed a sneaky peek inside the new premises. Our chair of School council, Ruth in Year 6, asked many questions and here is her account.
