We are an inclusive school and take children from 4 to 11. The vast majority of children move on at age 11, to the Howard of Effingham School, an outstanding academy that operates as the hub for our group of 10 schools making up the Effingham Learning Partnership, a thriving collaborative network for teaching and learning.
The accommodation includes a recently refurbished library at the heart of the school, a dedicated music room, several state-of-the-art laptop trolleys, two childrens kitchens, various breakout rooms for small groups and a brand new dedicated art room.
There is a large assembly hall, playground with many line markings chosen by the children and well-stocked play equipment, a bouldering wall and a large all-weather adventure playground. We have two teaching fields; one on site and another a short walk away. I am very proud to be the Headteacher at The Raleigh School and warmly encourage you to meet and tour the school with me.
