School Values

At Ravenshead C of E Primary School, our inclusive vision is rooted in the theme of ‘Taking Care’. This vision underpins our ethos, curriculum and daily practice and reflects our commitment to ensuring that all pupils feel safe, valued and able to thrive.

We encourage our children, staff and wider community to take care of one another, ourselves and the world around us through our key Christian values of Respect, Kindness, Courage and Hope.

These values shape pupils’ attitudes, behaviour and relationships and are consistently reinforced through Collective Worship, the curriculum and wider school life.

Our vision is inspired by the words from the Bible:

“Let love and kindness be the motivation behind all that you do” (1 Corinthians 16:14).

Through our values-led approach, pupils develop a secure understanding of British Values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance. Children are taught to express their views respectfully, understand fairness and justice, and make positive, responsible choices.

The promotion of equality and inclusion is central to our values. Pupils learn to respect and celebrate protected characteristics and are supported to recognise and challenge discrimination, prejudice and stereotypes. This learning is embedded across the curriculum and in everyday interactions, ensuring that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Pupil Voice

“Our values help us know how to treat everyone fairly. We learn to be kind and respectful, even if people are different from us, and we know it’s important to speak up if something isn’t right.”
