Welcome to Rydon Primary School
A warm welcome to Rydon Primary School, where every child is valued, encouraged, and supported to reach their full potential. As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a school that is committed to fostering a love of learning, celebrating success at every level, and nurturing well-rounded, confident individuals. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive and stimulating environment where children feel motivated to explore new ideas, challenge themselves, and develop a lifelong passion for learning. Our dedicated team of staff works tirelessly to ensure that every child is given the best opportunities to succeed and grow.
At Rydon, our core values of Resilience, Responsibility, Respect, and Teamwork underpin everything we do. We believe that learning should be active, purposeful, and engaging, encouraging children to embrace challenges and take pride in their achievements. Our broad and dynamic curriculum offers exciting opportunities for children to explore, create, and grow, ensuring a rich and fulfilling educational experience. We strive to provide learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom, incorporating real-world applications and hands-on activities that make learning meaningful and enjoyable.
We take great pride in celebrating success, whether big or small, and creating an environment where children feel safe, motivated, and inspired to achieve. Through our engaging curriculum and dedicated staff, we aim to instil a lifelong love of learning and the skills necessary for future success. Every child is encouraged to develop their strengths, build confidence, and work collaboratively with their peers. Our school community thrives on mutual support, with strong relationships between students, teachers, and families playing a key role in every child’s educational journey.
I warmly invite you to visit our school and experience the welcoming and vibrant atmosphere that makes Rydon such a special place. We look forward to meeting you and sharing the incredible opportunities that await your child at Rydon Primary School.
Sports Day 2025
Tuesday 17th June – EYFS and KS1
Tuesday 24th June – KS2
We are pleased to announce that sports day will be held for EYFS and KS1 on Tuesday 17th June and KS2 on Tuesday 24th June. We wish to invite all parents, carers and supporters to attend. Any changes to arrangements, due to the weather, will be communicated to parents through Bromcom.
What to wear and bring
As in previous years, we ask that children come to school dressed in their PE shorts, trainers and a t-shirt in their house colour: Abbrook – Green, Gappah – Blue, Hackney – Red, Whiteway – Yellow. There is no expectation to buy a new t-shirt for this event; if there is a problem, please let your child’s class teacher know and they will provide a coloured rosette or bib. Please can children bring an additional drink, a sun hat and have sun-cream applied prior to the event. We cannot give out sun cream to children who do not have their own.
Where to sit
For safeguarding reasons, spectators need to remain on the banks. Please do not follow children around the field during sports day as this causes congestion and disruption. Also, please do not sit along the Forest School fence as this interferes with the races and the space is needed for staff and pupils.
Timetable for both days
Both sports days will begin promptly at 12.30pm. In order for this to be a smooth transition, gates via the top playground will open at 12.15pm on each day so please wait safely on pavements outside of the front of the school and be mindful of local residents when parking vehicles. Please DO NOT PARK in either the Community Hall or the Rydon Inn. The gates will then be closed at 12.30pm and late entries and exits will need to be through the main office on Avery Road. We would like late entries to be kept to a minimum where possible to enable us to manage the site safely on each day. Sports day should conclude at 3pm. Children will be escorted off the field by their teachers and collected by parents at the usual collection points.
Safeguarding
There must be no alcohol on the school premises for either event and no filming/photography of children other than your own. You will be requested to leave the premises should these expectations not be adhered to and a ban from site considered.
Refreshments
There is a coffee van available on the top playground and an ice-cream van has been booked for 3:00pm.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to enjoy the day.
