Welcome to
Ravenstone Primary
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.
As a Headteacher I passionately believe that we can allow our children to
experience a wide range of creative enrichment opportunities and develop as
confident, caring individuals who also excel academically. It is this mixture that
makes Ravenstone so special. We will not sacrifice either of these elements.

The Ravenstone Computing Curriculum
A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world.Computing has deep links with mathematics, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming.

Purpose of Homework
The purpose of homework at Ravenstone is to provide opportunities for parents to be involved in their child’s learning.It enables children to practise 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 own learning, to become independent learners and to develop perseverance.

Take home system at Ravenstone
At Ravenstone, we encourage children to read for pleasure as well as impressing upon them the importance of learning to read.
Children are expected to be reading at least five times a week in every year group for 10 – 15 minutes per day and this should be recorded in the homework book each time.
We assign children to a book band based on their word reading skills and their ability to understand and explain what they are reading. Earlier book bands, up to gold, are linked to phonics phases. The book bands are named by colour and given an Oxford Reading Tree level.

The Ravenstone Science Curriculum
A high-quality science education provides the foundations for understanding the world through the specific disciplines of biology, chemistry and physics.
Science has changed our lives and is vital to the world’s future prosperity, and all pupils should be taught essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. Through building up a body of key foundational knowledge and concepts, pupils should be encouraged to recognise the power of rational explanation and develop a sense of excitement and curiosity about natural phenomena.

The word-lists for Years 3 and 4 and Years 5 and 6 are statutory.
The lists are a mixture of words pupils frequently use in their writing and those which they often misspell.
Some of the listed words may be thought of as quite challenging, but the 100 words in each list are taught within the four years of Key Stage 2 alongside other words that teachers consider appropriate.

Values
Dear Parents,
Our Ravenstone vision is ‘Children reaching their potential in the heart of the community’. We passionately believe that every child can achieve while experiencing a curriculum that is filled with exciting and enriching opportunities that instills them with the values that will allow them to flourish as individuals and as part of our Ravenstone community.
At Ravenstone we value the development of the whole child. We use every interaction we have with the children to promote our five core values. We do this because we believe that there is more to education that facts and knowledge. Our belief is that if our core values are truly instilled and understood by our children, they will have a deep knowledge of themselves and be able to succeed in the world around them and most importantly, grow to become happy, kind, honest, creative and determined adults.
Our core values are;
Creative Determined Happy Honest KindThis promotion of our values shapes our school, the curriculum and ultimately the children and staff. We use the values to celebrate when the children show great progress, achievement and success and the values in turn have also taken the place of school ‘rules’ and are the heart of our wellbeing and behaviour policy.
We really hope you enjoy finding out about our core value family in this booklet. Keep your eyes peeled for them in action!
All the very best,
Joe Croft – Headteacher
