Welcome

A Message From the Headteacher

Welcome to Ridgeway Primary Academy, a popular school within the market town of Market Harborough. We are committed to providing an excellent education for all and “enjoyment in learning” is embedded across our broad and balanced curriculum. A range of extra curricular activities and excellent sporting opportunities further enrich our curriculum offer and our Breakfast Club provides a healthy breakfast and fun activities for children from 7.45am each morning, while our After School Club ensures full wraparound care for your child.

A team of skilled, dedicated teachers work closely with support staff to provide an excellent learning environment and learning opportunities that engage and motivate all children. They are supported in their work by a committed governing body with high aspirations.

At Ridgeway we strongly believe that education is a partnership between home and school. We seek to work closely with parents to enable children to achieve all they are capable of in all spheres of education.

About Us

ee.jpg

Our school, which was first known as Market Harborough North County Primary School, opened in 1972. Originally famed for its open plan classrooms, sunken auditorium and pottery kiln, it was considered incredibly modern and cutting edge in its style. It was built to support the growing population of the town and new developments around the Ridgeway.

The land the school is built on was once orchards belonging to the Wall brothers. They lived on what is now Sherrard Road and had a big packing shed next to their adjacent houses. The land had been in their family for many years.

Today, it is a well-loved hub of the community, with a great emphasis on academic achievement, mental health and wellbeing and developing caring, confident and resilient children. In September 2022, the school celebrated its 50th Anniversary with its first Headteacher, Mr Staples, as guest of honour.
