Head Teacher's Message

Headteacher Miss J L Alderson welcomes visitors to Ravensthorpe CE (VC) Junior School, describing a faith-based, vision-driven environment with opportunities to develop into responsible, caring citizens.

SEND Provision

All of our pupils receive Quality-First Teaching. Occasionally, some pupils will require additional support in order to be able to access the curriculum. We will always work with our pupils and their parents in order to ensure that we are able to provide individualised support packages so that they may achieve their full potential. If you have any concerns about your child's ability to access the curriculum, you should contact Mrs Lee (our SENDCo) as soon as possible.
