Message from Exec. Headteacher

As we come to the end of another busy and successful academic year, I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support. The partnership between home and school is at the heart of everything we do, and your encouragement, involvement, and trust have made a real difference to your children’s educational experiences.

To our dedicated staff, I am sure you will join me in thanking them for the continued hard work and care that they show to all of our children.

A special farewell goes to our wonderful Year 6 pupils. We are immensely proud of the young people you have become. You have shown resilience, maturity, and a real sense of responsibility as the oldest members of our school community. It has been a privilege to watch you grow, and we wish you every success and happiness as you move on to the next exciting stage of your educational journey. We know you will continue to make us proud. You all brought a tear to my eye, whilst watching you perform your end of year performance, it was very moving and so well performed. Although I didn’t get the chance to see the Year 6 final assembly today, some children shared their speeches with me yesterday, so thank you to Mia and Scarlett for reminding me of your years at Rangefield, it was very special.  Enjoy your disco tonight!

Throughout this year, our pupils have accomplished so much — not only academically, but also through sports, performances, trips, community events, and personal growth. Every success, big or small, has been celebrated, and we are proud of each and every child for their achievements and their efforts.
As we look ahead to the new school year, we do so with optimism and ambition. We remain committed to providing the very best for our children and look forward to building on this year’s successes together.

I wish you all a restful, safe, and enjoyable summer break. Thank you once again for being a part of our school community.

Message from Head of School

The end of the year is just 2 days away. There have been too many things going on this year to recap now but lots of fun, learning and progress has been made.
For those moving on next week, we wish you every possible success and hope you look back on your time at Rangefield with affection and pride.
See you smart, well read and refreshed on Monday 1st September.
Mr Ball

🎉 Successful Sports Day in the Park 🏅

Sports Day in the Park was filled with energy, excitement, and team spirit! The weather was perfect as students, staff, and families gathered to cheer on our young athletes in a variety of fun events including sprints, relays, obstacle courses, and team games.

Laughter and encouragement echoed across the park as children showcased not only their athletic skills but also great sportsmanship and teamwork. It was a wonderful sight to see everyone participating and giving their best.

After the events, we relaxed and recharged with a picnic. Blankets were spread, lunchboxes opened, and stories shared as everyone enjoyed a well-earned break in the sunshine.

A big thank you to our staff, volunteers, and families who helped make the day such a joyful and memorable occasion. We look forward to many more!  Take a look at the photos and video below:

🌩️ Cultural Day – date change 🌩️

We have been working hard towards the Cultural Day scheduled for Monday, with a number of parents volunteering to support, learning in class and lots going on for the day itself. We have however been defeated by something very cultural ~ The British weather! The forecast for Monday has got progressively worse, with the risk of thunder and lightning on top of what looks like a wash out. We did consider moving inside, but due to the activities and number of people involved this wouldn’t work. Children will still be doing lots on Monday in class, are welcome to wear traditional clothes and will have a good day. The new date for the event will be Friday 19th September from 1pm. Fingers crossed it doesn’t snow! We still look forward to seeing you on Tuesday for the Academic Review Day.

🎓 NURSERY Graduation Day! 🎓

We are ready to celebrate a very special milestone as our amazing nursery children get ready to begin their exciting new journey in big school, in their new classes! 💼📚✨

We are so proud of each and every one of them—their smiles, their growth, and the joy they’ve brought to our nursery family. Watching them learn, play, and blossom has been a true privilege. 💛

Wishing all our little graduates the happiest, brightest future ahead—you’ll always have a place in our hearts! 💫💐

🌟 NURSERY Soft Play Adventures! 🌟

Yesterday, 37 of our little stars had the BEST time ever at soft play with all their nursery friends! 🛝💫 From climbing and sliding to giggles and games, it was a day full of fun, laughter, and memories! 💖

Year 6 Performance

What an incredible Year 6 show!

Our talented pupils wowed us with their energy, confidence, and brilliant performances. From powerful singing and acting to perfectly timed comedy and heartfelt moments, they truly brought the stage to life.

We’re so proud of the creativity and teamwork they’ve shown – it was a performance to remember and a perfect way to celebrate the end of their primary school journey.

A huge thank you to the staff for their hard work and to all the parents and carers for your support.

Well done, Year 6 – you were amazing! 🌟🎭

🎉Year 6 Disco Tonight!🕺💃

We hope you all have the best time ever – dancing, laughing, and making amazing memories with your friends. A massive THANK YOU to the parents (Sam Walsh, Dominique Kilshaw-Wall, Natasha Hamlin and Sheryl-Anne Russell) for putting this special night together. 💫

Screen Time and Summer

For children, it’s hard to beat the thrill of the last day of school, looking forward to more freedom, fewer responsibilities, and no homework. But for parents there’s the worry that what children are excited about is more screen time. We don’t want our children to be kidnapped by Minecraft or YouTube and — perhaps even more — we don’t want to spend the summer fighting about it. What we need is a plan for tech use that allows children to have fun and do rewarding things both away from screens and on them.

Below are some links to tips for making a plan that works for your family:
