We are a one community that shares God's love while growing and learning together. Welcome to Falconwood's Bishop Ridley C of E Primary School. Successful and well-liked, Bishop Ridley Primary School. Our school's mission statement, "One Community, Learning & Growing Together, Sharing the Love of God," guides how we conduct ourselves at school. Our essential Christian values—Trust, Forgiveness, Thankfulness, Compassion, Friendship, and Humility—serve as the foundation for this mission. Our children frequently attend religious services at Bishop Ridley Church on The Green, and every week, clergy members offer communal worship in the school. Children of all faiths and none are welcome here. We kindly request that all parents and kids embrace and uphold the Christian school's principles and ethos. Our most valuable asset is our family. We are committed to assisting them in realising their greatest potential because their behaviour is a strength. The school features a quiet learning environment and both students and staff have high expectations. In June 2018, when we had our most recent Ofsted inspection, we received another "Good" rating, which was also the result of our SIAS inspection as a Church of England school. If you have any inquiries or are looking for a space for your child, please get in touch with us.
