A Ranelagh Royal Day!
Published 09/12/20
The Kings and Queens of Ranelagh celebrated a grand royal day as part of their Ranelagh Curriculum topic, Kings and Queens and the Tudors. The KS1 children dressed in royal clothes and marked the day with a range of activities such as Tudor dancing, creating a Tudor Rose out of sourdough and designing their own coat of arms. It allowed them to experience life as a royal and expand on their knowledge of how the royals, like Henry VIII, lived in the past. Sharmeela, from Year 2, said 'I enjoyed making my Tudor Rose as it made me feel like a princess'. Yasin also said 'I can't believe the Tudors would eat only vegetables and meat because they didn't have much food in the past'. Overall, the day was thoroughly enjoyed by the staff and the children as they all enjoyed dressing up in multi-cultural Kings and Queens outfits to celebrate our annual Ranelagh Royal Day!

Ranelagh has a brand new EYFS. Its huge playground and interweaving classrooms promotes learning through curiosity and play.

Creativity is at the heart of all learning - questioning, decision making and problem solving will equip your children for the best start in their educational career.

Ranelagh primary and nursery school believes in giving all children opportunities that allow them to develop all of their talents - music, theatre, dance and gardening ( as part of Ranelagh’s edible playground ) to name but a few.

Ranelagh is a forest school , this allows children to develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on experiences in a natural setting.

Phase 3 of the New Build Begins
Published 03/07/20
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.
