Ryefield Primary School
Ryefield Primary School is a local education county school in t
he
London Borough of Hillingdon. The school is co-educational and has
Nursery, Infant and Junior sections. The school opened in 1960 with
purpose built classroom blocks, three playgrounds and is surrounded by
thirteen acres of picturesque grounds belonging to the school.
Ryefield has employed the same house system – Nelson, Hillary, Scott
and Drake – since it first opened. The school is a vibrant, caring and
happy place with children from many cultures. There are approximately
500 children on roll, including children in the Nursery. The school has
its own ICT suite, which has recently been upgraded and networked, and
the school has electronic whiteboards from Year R to Year 6. Ryefield
also has its own conservation area that has a pond, amphitheatre and
plants – the children use this for science and it has timetabled
lunchtime use in the summer. The school is always keen to improve
and has recently developed many aspects of its premises – having
recently developed a new Learning Resource Centre and a large play area
for the Nursery children. The School Council has
re-designed this area and we hope to see these improvements in the
summer.
Ryefield has a strong sporting tradition and
usually performs well in LEA competitions. Ryefield has over 30
clubs available to the community and we hope to develop a MUGA (Multi
Use Play Area) facility with outdoor changing rooms in the summer for
the whole community to use.
This year is our 50th
anniversary and I am particularly proud to be the headteacher at this
time. We hope to have a vast array of exciting celebrations, but
you should really visit the 2010 section of our website if you want to
be involved or find out more.
I hope our 2010
celebrations will be a great tribute to all the present and past
members of Ryefield’s happy and thriving community.
