Vision & Values

Our Core values and big values are woven into everything we do

Ravensworth Primary School is a warm and nurturing school, centred on our vision to ‘educate the whole child’. Our values provide a strong foundation for all pupils and are the golden thread running through our ethos and provision. These values play an important role in helping pupils to feel happy, safe and secure. They feed into the full spectrum of life in our school and form a solid base on which to build and develop each individual, supporting them to become successful learners and responsible citizens.

The values are displayed throughout the school, in classrooms and on the playground. They play a key role in assemblies, the PSHE curriculum, the SMSC curriculum and British Values.

Big Values

Our Big Values are our overarching values as a school and organisation within the community. They complement our existing core values and apply to everyone associated with our school including children, parents, staff, governors and visitors. You might notice the huge signs displayed at the entrance of the school.

We have belief in all that we do.

We take pride in our school, ourselves, our community, and our work.

We are dedicated to achieving success and educating the whole child.

Our Big Values are even represented in our school logo through matching colours:
