At Ravenshead C of E Primary School, we are committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn, live and flourish through a rich range of experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Our Personal Development Programme reflects our school vision and values, helping children to grow academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually throughout their journey with us. From outdoor learning and educational visits to leadership opportunities, performances, safety awareness and enrichment activities, we aim to develop confident, compassionate and resilient young people who are well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

This overview below provides an overview of the many opportunities available to children across each year group and demonstrates how we nurture the whole child through our caring and inclusive school community.
