18/05/2016 Ridgeway Update


Good Afternoon,

Welcome to the Ridgeway Farm CE Academy blog. This is a new blog to provide up to date news from Ridgeway Farm CE Academy and act as a reminder of upcoming events.



Just over a week ago now, staff, a few children and their parents; had the opportunity to visit the new school site. It was very exciting to tour the school building and see the progress that is being made. If there are other opportunities to visit the school site in the near future we will let you know. The builders are doing a fantastic job and so far everything is on schedule! Here is a link to the Link Magazine article of the visit:




Last week we also had a successful letter drop around the Ridgeway Farm and Mouldon View community and we are very excited that more pupils are choosing to join us at Ridgeway Farm.




Dates:
Just a reminder that tomorrow, (Thursday 19/05/16) is our parent consultation drop in evening from 5-6pm. This is an opportunity for you as parents and members of the community to share your hopes for Ridgeway Farm CE Academy, sharing best practice you have seen in other schools and a chance for you to have input into the shaping of the school. It is not a requirement to be here for the whole hour, but to pop in and chat to us at a time that is convenient for you within the hour. No information will be given out at this meeting about starting school in September, so we will not be discussing uniform, meals, times of school day etc. All of this information will be shared at our parent/carer information meeting on Tuesday June 14th.



For pupils currently in Y1-Y6
Please come along to our stay and play session at Lydiard Millicent Primary school next week 26/05/2016 from 4-5pm. It will be great to meet you all, introduce you to other pupils in the school and have fun together playing games together. Drop off will be from 3:45. Parents you are welcome to stay or leave your child/children with us. We will require parents to sign their children in and out and provide  emergency contact details/consent for drinks and snacks etc.

Parking is very limited at the school site so the best option is to park at the bottom of the school lane in the village hall car park and walk up the lane to the school.


We would like to finish by thanking you so far for all of your support and kind words. The school will succeed and be outstanding because of your enthusiasm and support and we can't wait to start this journey with you.

Mrs Luce & Mrs Gibbard
