Thank you for your interest in our lovely school. East Ravendale is a caring, inclusive school set in beautiful surroundings in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wolds, just five minutes from Waltham. We offer a high‑quality education for children across all year groups and are rated Good in all areas by Ofsted   We are proud of our strong outcomes across the school, including successful Early Years and phonics results and consistently positive Key Stage 2 performance.

Why choose us?

At East Ravendale, children are known, valued and supported to flourish. Our staff build strong, positive relationships with pupils and families, creating a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, confident and ready to learn.

We offer a bespoke and ambitious curriculum, enriched through trips, visitors, residential experiences, music tuition and a wide range of enrichment opportunities. This ensures learning is broad, engaging and designed to develop the whole child—academically, socially and emotionally.

As a proud Church of England school, everything we do is shaped by our Christian vision of Wonder, Joy and Belief. We encourage children to be curious, resilient and aspirational, helping them recognise their God‑given potential and grow with confidence.

Part of the Lincoln Anglican Academies Trust, we benefit from close collaboration with other Church schools across Lincolnshire while retaining the warmth and personal approach of our small‑school community. We work together to ensure every child gets what they need to succeed.

We warmly welcome visits from prospective families—please contact the school office to arrange a visit. We would be delighted to show you what makes East Ravendale such a special place.

How to apply for a place in Pre-School.

We have a Pre-School for children who are aged three and over. We find that joining our pre-school at staggered times during the school year means the young ones settle very quickly and easily into the school's daily routines. The children in our pre-school are exposed to early learning and good learning behaviours at an early age which means they have an excellent start to their primary education journey. 

To apply please contact our school admin team to secure a place.  Call 01472 825999 or email - enquiries@eastravendale.laat.co.uk
