Headteacher’s Welcome

“I go to books and to nature as the bee goes to a flower, for a nectar that I can make into my own honey.” – John Burroughs

Welcome to Ranvilles Junior School

We are proud to be a happy, inclusive school where every child is valued, empowered to be themselves, and inspired to explore their potential and excel.

At the heart of Ranvilles are our core values and shared belief that our pupils are STARS in the making—developing as Secure, Talented, Ambitious, Responsible learners who Successfully communicate and purposefully collaborate.

Our half-bee logo provides a simple yet powerful daily reminder for children to strive to be the very best they can be, both now and in the future. The visible half reflects our motto, Be you…Explore…Excel, while the hidden half symbolises the exciting next chapter of their lives waiting to be explored.

Through our rich curriculum, Exploring the World… Exploring Me! children apply their knowledge to question, research and engage in meaningful debate. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially and emotionally—so that every pupil embodies our vision of Authentic Values | Ambitious Spirit and leaves us confident, capable and ready for the next stage of their secondary education.

We hope you enjoy exploring our website and look forward to welcoming you to our school community.

“My daughter came home talking about D-Day so the school clearly did an amazing job at educating the children. My little girl has only been at Ranvilles since January but her learning level has improved massively! Thank you to all the teachers and staff who work hard to provide an education that’s not only academically amazing but also fun. ”

“My daughter has always been an anxious child, she had various struggles at a previous school and her learning was greatly impacted causing her to be behind in most aspects of her learning. When she joined Ranvilles Juniors, I was exceptionally nervous, however after her first week there was a support plan in place. She began to thrive with her learning and has become very confident in the school. The whole team at Ranvilles have played a huge part in ensuring she has felt happy and secure in the school environment. We as a family are very grateful for everything and we are so pleased with how far she has come with her learning.”

“I was that wobbly mum about my daughter joining the juniors, working in a school has its pros and cons. Our point of view from a service family perspective is nothing more than brilliant. From the teachers across the years, SENCO, support staff they have addressed our concerns and worries with efficiency and integrity, thank you for all you have done and continue to do.”

– Year 6 parent

“Ranvilles school has been an amazing school for myself and my daughter, great support system from all staff, my daughter has flourished in all her class years, never had a problem to deal with, but I’m sure if there was it would be quickly sorted, and with consideration of the needs met. They support the military service families with such passion, which is lovely to see and join in with.

All the children have fond memories and share great schooling adventures.”

“As a forces family that joined Ranvilles school part way through the academic year, we were made to feel instantly welcome and have nothing but good things to say about the school. Our child’s initial anxieties were picked up on and communication between the school and parents was great, with the issue being rapidly solved. Our child is thriving at this school, and has shown a huge improvement in Maths and English in just a few short months. We are very proud. Ranvilles is a wonderful environment for children to learn, play and grow.”

– Year 4 Parent

“Ranvilles have provided a happy and safe environment for both of my children who attend. The school have been amazing in identifying areas to improve on and have given extra tuition out of school hours. Both have gained confidence and independence over their education and within friendship groups. We could not have asked for a better place for our children to be nurtured and to grow.”

– Year 5 Parent

“The staff at Ranvilles have nurtured our children and encouraged them to shine as individuals, while also feeling part of a team- they love coming to school.”
