Welcome from our principal
'At Ready Steady Go we are completely focused on helping your child flourish both whilst they are with us, and at their future schools.'
'We pride ourselves on developing children’s positive attitude towards learning; relationships with both other children and their teachers; confidence, resilience and the capacity to face challenges – including failure; critical-thinking skills; sense of wonder and appreciation of life’s richness and diversity.'
Harriet Darley
