The first years of primary education is a very important phase in the life of any young pupil. Children at this stage are vibrant, innately curious and very enthusiastic to learn new things. We harness this zeal to explore and grow – encouraging them to ask questions, seek out answers, make connections and think critically. We develop our children to be confident speakers, attentive listeners, great leaders and team members. Our pupils learn to be responsible for themselves and their learning, to be kind to others, accepting of feedback to improve and confident to ask for help when they need it.
Our academic programme is rigorous, yet engaging and fun! Lessons incorporate a variety of multisensory and interactive activities, presentations, drama & role play to develop mastery of core skills and concepts. In addition, pupils engage in research and project work, which enables them to explore and discover new things, thus building and fostering a sense of responsibility, independence and confidence. A strong foundation in key skills areas, especially in Literacy & Numeracy, is critical to their academic success later on in their education. Specific attention given to developing strong reading and comprehension skills, with a concerted focus on phonics, spelling & vocabulary building. We guide our pupils to move beyond rote learning, towards full understanding of concepts and development of their verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills.
At The Roman Ridge School, we share a wonderful and collaborative partnership with our major stakeholders in our pupils’ success, our Parents! Parents are actively involved in all activities organised in the Junior School. This is fostered through regular, constructive dialogue and feedback with our parents on the progress of their child. Our Parents have a clear understanding of the goals and aims of the Junior School and are always eager and supportive to ensure we achieve our targets together, for the benefit of our children.
The Junior School believes in the power of pastoral care and remains steadfast in our mission to nurture every child in our care to realise their potential. Our experienced team of staff go above and beyond the call of duty each and every day, to ensure that every child feels loved, valued and capable of achieving their best.
The Junior School is certainly an exciting place to be and we look forward to welcoming you one day soon!
