Headteacher's Welcome to the Learning Community

Rettendon Primary School is committed to providing a safe and caring environment for the pupils at our school to ensure every young person is happy and thriving both emotionally and academically.

At Rettendon School we are committed to securing the success of our pupils by offering a stimulating and challenging curriculum that ensures each learner has every opportunity to meet aspiration goals and feel valued.

We strive to raise levels of achievement by ensuring that the quality of teaching and learning reaches the highest possible levels and offers a broad and balanced curriculum that is personalised to the needs of the child.

Provision is exciting, yet well ordered, where expectations of behaviour are rooted in respect. We believe that an environment where children are taught to respect each other, themselves and their environment leads to a harmonious school where learning can take place, free from stress and anxiety.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website and that it will inspire you to visit our school and find out more.

Relocation of Small Wonders

Many of you will know by now that the Governing Body are not renewing the lease with Small Wonders. The school intends to build its own provision on the land and this project is being organised to start up as soon as possible. If you need day care on the school site please click here and fill in the application form so that your child's place can be reserved. We are also looking into organising wrap around care from 15th July when 'Small Wonders' are planning to move off site, as there may be some of you who are not in a position to relocate with them.

Rettendon School Partner

Rettendon School has been fortunate to partner with a small school on Little Cayman, in the Caribbean. As part of our study looking at the cultural differences between the two schools, we have produced a slideshow presentation which helps the four students in the Cayman Islands learn more about life in the UK and at Rettendon School. Our hope is that this partnership will extend to making contact with these children using email and video communication technologies.

Click here to download the presentation it should work on most broadband connections, it is a big download and there will be a delay.
