Key Information

I am proud to welcome you to Ravenbank School. I am lucky enough to serve as the head of a school committed to each child's intellectual, character, and creative development. At Ravenbank, we have a solid vision to support children to become successful learners and responsible citizens. We are committed to supporting each child to be happy and safe during these important formative years.

Our curriculum is designed to give children a broad and balanced experience, so that they can develop all the knowledge and skills they need for future success. We also prioritise opportunities for children to be creative and work confidently with others, understand their civic duties and foster all of these skills through our values of friendship, respect, perseverance and trust.

You will meet many of the staff as your child progresses through the school. They are committed, talented and love to see your child thriving and happy in school. As parents, your child’s educational journey is an important phase in your life too. You too will make friends and being part of a school community is an valuable part of your child’s educational experience. We aim to work hand in hand, supporting you and celebrating your child’s successes.

We’re working hard to build a bright future for your child and we look forward to working together for many years.

OUR VALUES

Friendship

Above all, everyone at Ravenbank is kind. We recognise that everyone needs to feel happy and safe in school and by cultivating a sense of belonging for all pupils and staff helps us to build a supportive collaborative culture and a joyful learning environment.

Respect

We celebrate diversity and appreciate the unique qualities of each person in our school. Through respectful relationships and an inclusive environment we will ensure everyone feels safe and valued. We also respect our environment and show this through our interactions and behaviour.

Perseverance

Learning can and should feel hard sometimes. Within a safe and supportive environment, everyone should feel safe to make mistakes to learn and grow. We should all be courageous, accept challenges and feel the sense of accomplishment when we achieve our goals.

Trust

We aim to ensure that trust is the foundation of all successful relationships at Ravenbank. We foster a culture of honesty and integrity so that everyone feels safe to share their ideas so that we can learn from each other. We also trust in the belief that we all have boundless potential to achieve well and make a positive contribution to society.

Ravenbank benefits from the support and challenge of a dedicated governing board. Governors work with the leadership team to set the strategic vision, provide accountability and oversight to ensure the school is achieving the best outcomes for your child. The school is also part of the Beam Trust, which enables the schools to share expertise and innovative educational practices.
