The many advantages of being a small school are complemented by involvement in local and national events, and joint activities with other local schools.

The school offers a before and after school club and many extra curricula activities including sport and music. The option of a school meal is available to all full-time children.

Ravensden has three intake terms and welcomes your child the term after their 4th birthday.
