  • Sportshall Athletics – Year 3 and 4

    Published 07/03/25

    We had a great preparation experience on Saturday at a very busy Indoor Athletics event held at Testwood School. The Sportshall was full of both competitors and spectators with lots of people watching and cheering. This made for a fabulous atmosphere but was also quite busy for our young team of Year 3 and 4’s! Each child took part in a running, jumping and throwing event and then there was the exciting mixed Year sprint relay. Our children were superb in both demonstrating patience; waiting for their turn, motivating each other and doing their best throughout the 4 hours. Although the Year 4’s were reasonably well practised, for the Year 3’s, this was their first taste of real competition and we came away pleased with our results - placing 13th out of 18 teams. We all really enjoyed it and will be looking to encourage more children to join in the preparation after school club next year. Thanks again to all the help and support from parents for being there with snacks and words of encouragement.

  • World Book Day

    Published 07/03/25

    World Book Day provides a fantastic opportunity to focus on reading for pleasure, supporting children's autonomy in book choice, and embedding a habit of reading that brings a wide range of benefits.

    Children dressed up as one of their favourite book characters or dressed in their pyjamas. They brought one in to school of their favourite books to share and recommend to friends.

  • Wild Art Club

    Published 05/03/25


    Just in time for Spring, Wild Art Academy and the children from Ringwood Junior School began our sculpture workshop focussing on birds. Using card, Paper Mache, and acrylic paint students had the freedom to explore the materials and processes and have lots of fun whilst producing a sculpture they could be very proud of. Wild Art after school sessions give the children freedom to explore, experiment and build self confidence through mixed media art and our natural environment.

  • Year 5 and 6 Cross Country Qualifier

    Published 25/02/25

    On a very cold and damp day, our intrepid runners set out against fields of 100 others in each race. The conditions were difficult and the start was muddy.
    It was a great run from all our children, they were completely fearless with some stand out performances from Milo (8th), Josh (14th) and Eloise (20th). The 4 boys from the Year 6 team ran a brave race to all place in the top 21, gaining them a silver medal.
    We gave it our all and the effort and weather took its toll and we were really tired at the end and glad to retreat to the warmth of our cars for a drive back to school.
    Well done everyone and thanks again for parent support with transport.

  • Year 3 and 4 Cross Country

    Published 10/02/25

    It was a cold and windy afternoon last Friday but we were full of energy and excitement as our Year 3’s and 4’s set out to run a long, interesting Cross Country route around the back fields of Fordingbridge Junior School.
    We cheered on the Yr 1’s and 2’s before we were on the start line. Archer held the lead from the start in the Year 3 race with other members of the team finishing in the top 10. The girls showed huge determination to finish un injured with Erin also medalling as the first girl across the line.
    The Year 4 race was run strategically battled over in the early stages by Toby and Zac and then Oliver chose his moment to speed into action and stride into the lead to gain his medal. The year 4 girls ran safely around the now muddy course and showed huge promise for upcoming races. It was lovely to see the huge smiles on their faces.
    Well done everyone and thanks again for parent support with transport.

  • Year 3 and 4 Girls Gymnastics

    Published 10/02/25

    It was the turn of our Year 3 and 4’s to experience the variety of gymnastics equipment and expertise of the Noadswood Young Leaders this week. We enjoyed all of the different stations on offer to challenge our balance and co-ordination, but our favourite was the Trampoline, Acro and Vault. We really pushed ourselves to improve our skills on the beam, with high kicks and walking backwards and we created some fabulous floor sequences. It was great to work together, in fact we didn’t stop moving all afternoon!
    If you are interested in joining a gym club, our local one is Gymstars in Ferndown.

    It was great to add extra friendly competition to the club this week as we invited Fordingbridge School to join in our Year 3-4 After school football club. 

    They arrived with a strong girls team and a mixed Yr 3 and 4 boys team and we were able to play  matches against both teams. It was so much fun and we hope to be able to invite them again.

  • Year 5 & 6 Sportshall Athletics Event - New Forest District Finals

    Published 27/01/25

    15 teams from across the New Forest participated in the Sportshall Athletics finals on Saturday at Testwood School. All athletes raced against each other over 3 events a run, a jump and a throw ending with an exciting mixed relay event. It was all about the experience and taking part as we encouraged each other to achieve some really standout individual performances, whether it was a good placing finish in the sprints, a well- executed or accurate throw or speedy jumping.
    We showed tremendous teamwork and also enjoyed supporting our fellow Ringwood- based school teams, cheering on our friends from Poulner School.
    Thank you for giving up your Saturday morning to represent Ringwood Junior School so well!

  • Year 5 and 6 Girls Gymnastics

    Published 20/01/25

    We were lucky enough to enjoy an afternoon devoted to gym together with other New Forest Schools and had a great time meeting the young leaders, who gave us top tips on how to perform routines and stretches and up level our skills.
    We seized the opportunity to explore the gymnastics facilities at Noadswood school, completing a carousel of different exercises and equipment as we moved around the gym. The gymnastics trampoline was a highlight, together with the springboard, beams and performing floor routines with ease on a sprung floor made our round-offs much easier. I’m sure this experience has encouraged our children to explore local gym or Acro groups to continue to improve on their natural abilities.
    I’m looking forward to taking some Year 3 and 4 children to repeat this experience in the next few weeks.

  • Year 6 Boys Premier League Primary Stars U11 Schools event

    Published 16/01/25

    A fabulous but nonetheless dream shattering morning was spent playing some really skilful football at the Community hub on Tuesday with dedicated Year 6 boys. 16 schools attended and we were put in a tough division. All the matches were intelligently played and exciting so we were pleased to not lose a match and thrilled to put 2 goals against the favourites. Sadly, with the way other matches played out we didn't quite earn enough points to win the division and to qualify for the knock-out semi final but our boys can be proud that they played with their hearts on their sleeves and showed great teamwork supporting each other in every match. Thanks to our great team of supportive parents, as always much appreciated.
    We are looking forward to a few more football events before Easter to involve all the other Year groups.

  • Year 6 Mixed Basketball

    Published 13/12/24
    The newly formed Basketball team really ‘slammed dunked’ it at a New Forest Schools 3 V 3 competition winning all of their matches in the first round to secure a solid position within the Premier Division. Although some of the team often play basketball at lunchtimes, we had to quickly adapt our play to the new rules of 3v3 match play. We were a little apprehensive of our ability upon meeting other schools, however I was so proud of their performance as they really stepped up and played some exciting, well-polished team play and many baskets were won. We were anxious that the next matches within the Premier Division could secure a medal. Sadly no medals this time but an incredible 4th place overall out of 16 teams and we enjoyed our well deserved round of applause from all the other teams. We all had a super experience and had fun at the same time. Year 4 and 5 it’s over to you now to get practising ready for next Year!
