Community Links

As a Voluntary Aided Church of England school we have close ties with our local church, Bishop Ridley, on The Green. Services are held at the Church at various times of the year (eg. at Harvest, Christmas, Easter and Pentecost) and classes visit the church to support the RE curriculum and take part in services.

Bishop Ridley School has very close links with local groups and secondary schools, as well as the Police and Pupil Health and Welfare Services. We are developing links with Harris Academy, with whom we share our site, to take advantage of the superior facilities they are able to offer (eg. all weather playing fields, fully equipped gymnasium, ICT provision). We also have close ties with Bexley Grammar School for science projects, as well as Charlton FC and Kent County Cricket Club.
