School 360

At Ribbon Academy, our facilities provide welcoming, engaging spaces where children can learn, play and develop. We invite you to explore our school through our interactive 360° virtual tour and discover the spaces that make up our learning environment.

Our Reading Zone is where we house our Decodable and Accelerated Book collections supporting our children to choose just the right book for their next read. You will also find Miss Robson here supporting our Lowest 20% of readers.

Our computing hub is one part of the available technology at Ribbon. Here, we have 15 computers where our HTLP for Computing supports the learning of all year groups. Additionally, children have access to tablets, IPads, laptops and Chromebooks.

Our Music Room is the host of all music lessons where our HTLP for Music – Mr Reay – provides access for children to a range of instruments including; boomwhackers, ocarinas, recorders and clarinets. Children are given the opportunity to practise their singing here too.

Our Design Studio provides space for each child to exercise their creativity, with access to a wide range of tools and media. We proudly display our children’s work in our art gallery across the Academy.

In support of Outdoor Learning, our very own Forest is equipped to engage our children into the wonders of Forest School through Forest Fridays, Muddy Mondays, Teamwork Tuesdays and Wilderness Schooling.

Providing more space for learners across the site, we are fortunate to house three outdoor classrooms as additional learning environments.

The large indoor space of our school hall is equipped to host assemblies, P.E. lessons and lunchtime. It even has its own climbing wall. As an extension to the hall, our Studio can provide either a larger or a smaller space to work. On a Friday the studio converts to a restaurant as we serve the community through out Community Cafe initiative.

Outdoor space and equipment is widely available across the Ribbon campus with two large football fields, a MUGA, KS1 and KS2 yards, an outdoor gym, table tennis table, pirate ship, train, trim trails, rope swing and a range of outdoor play equipment.

Our Multi-Use Games Area provides an outdoor space for sports in all weathers. Access is provided at break times, lunch time, after school and is also available to hire on an evening.

Our Bike Shed is the home of Ribbon Recycles, where Mr Murray works with a small group of children to recondition old bicycles and sell them to the local community.
