Ravenstone is a fantastic school. Every child that steps through the gates is welcomed into an aspirational, creative community that focuses on allowing children to flourish as confident individuals and reach their potential academically.
We do everything we can to provide our pupils with the skill set to challenge the norm and become successful. Our curriculum is tailored towards the needs of the pupils and ranges from high-quality dance and music lessons, swimming in year 4,5 and 6 as well as debating clubs, a mastery approach to the core subjects, and importantly a PSHE scheme of work that teaches our pupils to be safe, astute and add to the world that they are growing up in.
We constantly strive to improve and introduce initiatives that will inspire every pupil to achieve and become motivated individuals who can succeed in their futures.

The purpose of homework at Ravenstone is to provide opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s learning. It enables children to practice and consolidate skills and aims to broaden the context of learning and provide enrichment and extension. Finally, it aims to enable children to take responsibility for their learning, to become independent learners, and to develop perseverance.
