School Values and Ethos

Welcome to Ravensbury Community School

Ravensbury is a fantastic school where everyone, pupils, staff, parents, and governors, works together with warmth, respect, trust, and hard work. We are ambitious: for every child, for our staff, and for the school. We are proud of our school and everyone in it.

Our Vision

At Ravensbury, we celebrate diversity and aim to be a safe, welcoming place where pupils enjoy learning and feel confident to try new things. We encourage our pupils to work hard, challenge themselves, learn from each other, and make lasting memories. Together, we make sure every child enjoys school, makes excellent progress, and develops the skills and attitudes to succeed in life.

Our Mission

To achieve our vision, we:

• Work with pupils, staff, governors, and parents to identify what we do well and what we can improve.

• Create yearly School Improvement Plans to focus our efforts.

• Aim for the highest possible academic standards, reflecting on teaching and learning to help every child progress.

• Develop a creative, exciting curriculum that inspires curiosity and enquiry.

• Value every pupil as an individual, recognising their talents and helping them grow into responsible, caring young people.

Our Values

Our motto sums up what we stand for:

We create… We explore… We care… We soar.

This motto reflects the key values we share across the school:

Creativity – We encourage imagination and problem-solving, helping pupils become confident, adaptable learners ready for the future.

Exploration and Enquiry – We inspire curiosity. Pupils ask questions, investigate, and explore “big questions” through our Connected Curriculum.

Care – We support children to be happy, confident, respectful, and responsible. Pupils learn to care for themselves, others, their community, and the world.

We Soar – We aim high and celebrate achievements. Pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves, take pride in their work, and reach their full potential.

At Ravensbury, every day is about learning, growing, and celebrating what makes each child special.
