We are very proud of our friendly, small school. Many visitors comment on the happy and warm feeling they get as they look around and the children clearly care for one another. As a Church school we believe strongly in Christian Values; our Core Values being wisdom, respect, hope and friendship. We regularly welcome members of the local clergy into our school, attend family services and celebrate special occasions in the Church of St Lawrence which is right next door.
At Ridgewell, every child is supported to achieve their best and to become an independent, ambitious learner with a spirit of adventure.
