Frequently Asked Questions
How many children are in each class?
Raglan is usually oversubscribed so all of our classes are usually full with a maximum of 30 pupils in each class. Occasionally and exceptional circumstance is made for an additional pupil.
Raglan's PAN (pupil admission number) is 90 in Nursery (3 classes) and 120 (4 classes) in all other year groups.
How many children have a different language?
The vast majority of pupils have good levels of English although around 30-50% of the year group will have another language which may be the language spoken at home. Children who arrive with limited English make good progress with their language.
Do you teach Languages?
Children in Key Stage 2 learn Spanish which is part of the KS2 curriculum requirements. We also offer language clubs to Years 1-6 in Spanish.
Do you have a breakfast and after school club?
Yes, Raglan Wrap Club is open from 07:30 and closes at 08:40 and again from 15:10 to 18:00. You can visit the Wrap Club Page here
How much time to EYFS children spend outside?
During the day the children in Nursery have some carpet sessions with the teacher and after that they are free to flow around the classroom or outside. The amount of time spent outside varies with each child and their preference but the staff will keep an eye on their choices so they can ensure there is a good balance of activities.
Do you have after school clubs?
We usually have around 45-50 clubs each week, which makes Raglan a very active and busy school for extra-curricular activities. We do want as many pupils as possible to attend a club so we allocate these fairly to those who make a request. Some clubs are free where we have funding and for others there is a flat fee of £30 for the term which has around 7-10 sessions. More information here

How do you manage behaviour?
Behaviour at Raglan is usually very good and children are mostly polite and respectful and willing to learn and play. We do have a clear behaviour policy which promotes the good behaviour and Raglan Values and manages the not so good behaviour when it occurs. The school has a zero tolerance to bullying where a pupil is being targetted more than once. You can read more in our Behaviour and Anti-Bullying policy on our website
