Why Choose Ridgeway
At Ridgeway we…
Nurture every child
We get to know each child as a unique individual, encourage their existing interests, foster new passions and support their emotional and social development. Our approach values and embraces children’s individual qualities and interests and our aim is to provide children with the skills, confidence and enthusiasm to seek and relish new opportunities and challenges.
Foster Lifelong success
We embrace the fact that what constitutes success will be different for each child. We equip our children with the inspiration, knowledge, cultural capital and belief that they can all be successful in life.
Provide a rich and diverse learning experience
Our approach to teaching provides a range of opportunities for learning that motivates, inspires, challenges and develops all children.
Develop a passion for learning
Our children immerse themselves in their learning and develop the self-motivation and passion for learning that continues to grow once they leave our school.
Encourage children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development
We actively promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of our children. We do this through our school ethos and values, our broad and balanced curriculum, extra-curricular and leadership opportunities, as well as our daily interactions with children. The fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs are embedded within our school culture.
Prospective Parents and Carers
If your child is due to start Nursery or Reception in September 2026, we will be running a number of tours for prospective parents in the autumn term. If you would like to visit our school to see whether we would be the right setting for your child, please join us on one of our school tours.
The tour will involve a talk with members of the Headship Team and an opportunity to see teaching and learning in action across our school.
