Rannet Junior School

From a humble beginning in 2013, with 32 pupils, Rannet Junior School has now grown in both popularity and size. The school has classes from Primary one to Primary seven which caters for pupils aged 5 to 12 years and above.

Rannet Junior School provides an environment which is inclusive, caring and stimulating, with high expectations of achievement and behaviour, and where learners develop good self-esteem. This enables them to become active partners in their own learning who take risks and learn from their mistakes. We encourage learners to ask questions and to learn how to solve problems and challenges. We aim at ensuring that learners reach their full potential and to create an atmosphere where learning is fun by offering a rich, varied and meaningful curriculum.

We live in an ever changing world and we need to prepare our children for the future, enabling them to access lifelong learning. Whilst the children’s learning is our first priority, we also offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities so that all children can achieve and shine in the field of their choice – music, sport or the arts – and we develop the children’s emotional literacy and social skills through all that we do in school to enable them to become responsible and positive members of the society in which they live.

Working closely with parents and careers is an important facet of our work in enabling the success of our children. We believe that good communication is the key to an effective partnership, and we are always happy to meet you and discuss any concerns you may have.
