iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Ranelagh Primary School. We are a vibrant, creative and caring school, proudly reflecting the diversity of our local community. The school first opened in 1907. It is situated in a beautiful Edwardian building combining historical features with many new developments. Outside we have a large playground and multi-purpose sports pitch.
Pupils have access to a small woodland area and sensory garden in the school grounds. Children in our Early Years benefit from a purpose built garden area; a double canopy allows outside play whatever the weather! This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up to date information for parents, pupils and the wider community.
We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find the information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school direct with any queries you may have or if you wish to obtain paper copies of any information on our site.
