About Ridgeway Infant School

Ridgeway Infant School is a large three-form entry school with capacity for 270 children. The school is uniquely situated in extensive natural grounds with a well-established wildlife garden on site, in the suburbs of Derby City. The school opened in 1961.

There are seven classrooms in the main building along with a large hall, additional learning spaces and various offices. There are two terrapin classrooms located alongside the main playground. Despite the terrapin classrooms being located away from the main school building, the children in these classes are fully integrated into the life of the school. Our library is well resourced with a huge variety of books and has proven very popular with our families.

We utilise our locality to the full as part of our teaching and learning. Our curriculum is active and purposeful with many opportunities for learning outside the classroom, within our local community, Derby City and further afield.

The school stands in impressive open grounds which is maintained to a high standard. Our site includes a large, well-developed garden for Reception, Wildlife Garden, two sensory areas as part of the Rolls Royce Science Prize Project completed in 2015, Playtime Zones, Wild Flower Meadow and a Friendship Area along with an extensive school field.
