I am delighted to have been appointed as Head Teacher of this wonderful school, having taken up my role in September 2022. Ravensworth Terrace Primary School is a vibrant school where children are extremely enthusiastic and motivated to learn and achieve endless possibilities.
The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future. We pride ourselves that we know each and every child inside out. 'I would highly recommend this school to other parents.'
'It is a lovely school, the teachers are very helpful.' Mount Pleasant Road
