Welcome
Welcome to Ranikhet Academy, a warm and welcoming one form entry primary school in Tilehurst, Reading. We offer school places from pre school (aged 3-4 years) in our wonderful Nursery and then from Reception (aged 4-5 years) to Year 6 (aged 10-11 years).
We are proud to be a REAch2 school, valuing being part of the largest primary-only trust in the UK. This means that we benefit from an excellent support network and the challenge required to always aim higher and to continually develop our provision for our children. REAch2 recognises that each of its schools is different and empower us to deliver a high-quality, bespoke curriculum that meets the needs of our unique and diverse school community. We work collaboratively with the other three REAch2 schools in Cluster 9, Reading.
Our core values help us to develop the whole child, aiming to equip each with a consistently positive attitude towards their own learning and strong inter-personal skills towards each other. We focus on our TRACK values (Teamwork, Resilience, Appreciation, Curiosity and Kindness) and our children being recognised for demonstrating these, which then support them to be their ‘best version’ and ‘Proud to Belong’ to our school community.
Our team are committed to work towards high expectations of learner attitude of all children, showing the care needed for our children. We are focussing on ensuring that each child has the foundational skills and knowledge in reading, writing and maths to be able to progress.
We aim for all of our children leave our school as confident, well-rounded individuals, well equipped for the challenges of secondary school and ready for the decisions and choices they will make in the future learning and lives.
Diversity is valued within, and is a strength of our school, with children from various backgrounds making up our school community, mirroring the wider context of our local area and town.
Our children are fortunate to now learn in a recently refurbished internal school building, in extensive grounds (small and large playgrounds, a variety of grass areas, a full size all weather pitch and sports courts) where we work to maintain and further develop an inclusive learning environment.
Our parents have fed back that they value how our school team keep their children safe and happy, building positive, kind and trusting relationships.
I hope our website gives you some information about our school. Please contact the school office if you would like to arrange a visit to find out more about what we could offer your child for their primary education journey.
Warmest wishes,
Gemma Jackson
