At Ryarsh, we know how important it is to make sure that you choose the best school possible for your child. The current climate means that certain restrictions are in place that do not allow us to offer what we ordinarily would do.
However, we understand the importance of providing parents with as much information as possible about our school so you can make an informed decision about your child’s schooling. If you are interested in joining our Ryarsh family, here are the details of our new entrants programme for children wishing to join our school in September 2021:

Virtual Tour
At Ryarsh, keeping our children and community safe is our number one priority. As a result, we are not able to offer a tour inside our school whilst the children are in the building. We take great pride in our school and love showing any visitors around so it is with a very heavy heart that we are not able to offer tours this year. However, in order to still showcase our wonderful school environment, please watch the following virtual tour of the school:
Site Visits
We are excited to announce that we are able to offer site visits with Mr Childs (Headteacher) after school on specific dates. In order to follow government guidelines, we need to restrict the visits to 5 adults per time slot as we are adhering to the ‘rule of 6’. We are able to offer the visits for adults only due to the restrictions on numbers, and to help make the site visits as safe as possible. The site visits can be offered on the following dates:
| Tuesday 20th October | 3:30pm-4:00pm
4:00pm-4:30pm 4:30pm-5:00pm |
| Thursday 22nd October | 3:30pm-4:00pm
