Children, staff and the Local Community at Ranelagh Primary school celebrated the official opening of the Junior Volunteer Police Cadet Unit which has been running at Ranelagh since September 2018. The cadet unit offers boys and girls from years 5 and 6 a wide range of skills in policing. These have included learning the drill (marching), discussing police topics such as stop and search and discussing ways to self-regulate. Through weekly meetings at the school, children take part in team building exercises to develop the spirit of collaboration and good citizenship.

They also took police officer safety training and judo training with John Harding (MBE). Children spoke of their exciting day at the station which included being locked in the cells!!
The police cadets have been on a trip to Flip Out for team-building and have many more activities planned such as camping and Cinema trips.
New entrance gates, lamp-posts knocked down and the pavement lowered - at last the new build begins.
Over the last few years, Ranelagh has been in the process of major renovations and you have been so patient whilst the rejuvenation takes place.
From these photos, you can see how Ranelagh has drastically improved.
In the last 3 years, lots has been achieved-the outside of the building had an uplift . The playgrounds have been brought back to life with new parks and relaxation areas . All of the classrooms were decorated from dull green to vibrant blue. Canopies have ensured the outdoor area over reception is inspiring. We now have canopies in KS1 and nursery playgrounds .
Starting form 12th March the new extension will be starting. By Summer 2020, Ranelagh will have a brand new nursery and brand new admin offices. As we are becoming a first choice school , the build will ensure that Ranelagh can grow into a 3-form entry.
These are the plans for our new extension
We are all very excited - we will be keeping you updated with all the latest building news.
