We are a small, but growing, village Primary and Nursery school, part of the Shine Multi Academy Trust. We pride ourselves on our warm and friendly atmosphere. Our children work hard and achieve good results and the staff are dedicated to helping all our children achieve to their full potential. We have strong links with the local community and have an ‘open door’ policy, welcoming parents and members of the local community into our school. We have a thriving PTA which supports the school by organising a wide variety of events and activities. We offer a range of after-school clubs, such as Chess, kick boxing and craft club. We have a weekly mentions assembly to which parents, grandparents and friends are invited to help us celebrate the achievements of our children.
There is a breakfast club for Primary school children 7.45am – 5.45pm
Part of the trust is also a Nursery which occupies a new, purpose-built building which opened in February 2011, superbly equipped and catering for children from 2 to 5. The strong working relationship between nursery and the school means that children are able to make the transition from one to the other with relative ease. A 10-day transition process helps the children feel at home in the school before they start with us full time.
We work very closely with other local schools, having, for example, joint sports, maths and science activities. We often visit the Elizabethan High School in Retford, to where most of our children transfer for their secondary education.
Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision. We strongly feel that the right place for the children in our catchment villages is with us at Ranskill Primary School. If you are looking for a school, then please come and visit us, we would be more than happy to show you around and give you the opportunity to meet our staff and children and learn more about us.
