Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given in this booklet, some changes may occur after publication. Our web site is developing rapidly.  A regularly updated copy of this brochure can be found there, as can information about the curriculum, school policies, homework details, our home school agreement and other items of interest. We subscribe to the principles of acceptable and safe use of the internet and offer parents the opportunity to opt out of having their child’s image published on the web site.

 

 

The head teacher, staff and governing body are pleased to offer this summary of life at Radipole School and we hope you will find it interesting and informative.  If your child is about to join us, we hope that this will be the start of a long, happy and productive relationship between us. 

 

Close partnership between home and school is essential if your child is to thrive and develop.  We will endeavour to communicate effectively with you, and likewise hope that you will contact us with any concerns or queries you may have.

 

Ofsted (September 2006) stated that Radipole Primary School is 'an outstanding school. No aspects of its work are less than good.  The sense of school community is exceptionally strong, so that pupils feel valued and cared for as individuals.’

Ofsted (December 2009) stated that particular strengths of the school are 'the personal development of all pupils and the high quality of care, support and guidance.  The school's partnership with parents is outstanding, with over 90% returning the questionnaire and all expressing a high degree of satisfaction with the school and their children's experience.  Pupils clearly enjoy school and what it provides..'
