Welcome to Riddings Infant

and Nursery School

I am very proud of this school, its pupils and their successes. I believe this school is a special place for children to learn. The children in this school are brilliant. They are polite, thoughtful, articulate and creative. They make me (and all adults here) smile every day. This is a really special place to learn.

We always put the children first in decisions we make, considering the bigger picture and
impact for the whole school and the children’s futures. Our staff and governors are committed to achieving the highest possible standards in social, academic and moral education. The Early Years and KS1 is a special time in any young person's development, it's where children learn language, to express their opinions, where they make friendships and develop their own moral code. For that reason, we as a school must give them the best possible start in life. For the children to succeed they need to feel valued, safe and secure and this is the main job of everyone working school. All children deserve the opportunity to excel and I believe it is essential that excellent teaching and high expectations give our children the best possible foundations for their learning.

We value your support, commitment and involvement in all aspects of school life and we
recognise that the education of your child is a shared venture between parents, staff and the children themselves. Learning should be a joy - a rich experience which excites, inspires and builds resilient, engaged and motivated young people. I can’t wait for your children to join us.
