This week, we had our Embark Federation SEND review William Rhodes. It was a wonderful experience- supportive and challenging and staff, children and our wonderful SENDCo Zoe Farrow did us proud! Thank you Nic Godfrey and Riddings Jnr School ❤️ #family #teamwork #success 🎉

How lucky have we been with the weather today. A brilliant day led by Acclimbatize - what great instructors. The children from ClarkeRJS and RichardsRJS have been superb showing huge amounts of PRIDE Embark Federation

Hot dogs, chips and beans going down well at the Riddings Residential dinner time. Huge thanks to Sarah and Diane for coming back this evening to cook for the children. 👏 ⁦Embark Federation⁩

Definitely a massive thank you to our Riddings Jnr School Teaching Assistants and Wellbeing Mentors who help to make our school fabulous - including those who are staying overnight (on a Friday!) to support the Y4 RichardsRJS and ClarkeRJS Residential!

What a view from up above ⁦Embark Federation⁩

All quiet in the western front ⁦Riddings Jnr School⁩ and has been for a good long while - clearly tired out by a wonderful day. Staff are taking 💤 shifts throughout the night to keep any early risers at bay. G’night ⁦ClarkeRJS⁩ ⁦RichardsRJS⁩ ⁦⁦Embark Federation⁩

And that’s just the staff 😆Embark Federation

Born to a Barbadian father and British mother, Walter Tull was something of a trailblazer in both football and the military. Read his full story on For Evermore: ow.ly/b1y950Tu7wj

As Yr4s were a little slow waking up today have they been a little subdued? Parents all get a PRIDE sticker for being on time (a record) so staff could stagger home to 💤 Lots of thanks and smiles as the children left. Have a great weekend. ClarkeRJS RichardsRJS Embark Federation

Super performance in 🎶 Singing Assembly as we learnt ‘Good Morning Baltimore’ from Hairspray, one of the 2025 Young Voices songs. Links to Black History Month & other learning in assembly about protest (protestari in Latin - to publicly declare) Embark Federation

A chilly evening of football for the girls ⚽️ who had a great time and played really well. Special mention to A in Y3 who more than filled her place in the Y5/6 team with a goal! Thanks to Miss B, Miss J and Mrs H for their great coaching ! Embark Federation Amber Valley SSP

A very emotional watch, it makes your family’s story even more poignant. We’re glad the small part we’ve played has been helpful ☔️WorldStrokeCampaign raises awareness of stroke prevention & treatment, it encourages us to be physical activity every day during October Embark Federation

Wow what a successful (and long) day you both had - amazing Determination in action - we hope you’re as proud of yourselves as Lesley Allsopp clearly is! 👏 💃 Embark Federation
