William Ransom Primary School

About William Ransom Primary School

William Ransom is a happy, ambitious and inclusive school. We are a two-form entry, state-funded, non-selective community primary school for children of Reception age (4 years old) through to Year 6 (11 years old). We have a very strong sense of community here and we work hand-in-hand with our parents, as partners, to offer every child as many opportunities as we can.

"Mixed Feelings about WR"

I have mixed feelings about our time at William Ransom. On the one hand, my child made some great friends and had some fantastic experiences, like the storytelling day and the sports events. However, I felt that the school could have done more to support my child's learning gaps. Still, it's a lovely community, and I'm grateful for the memories.
