We care for one another and create a warm, welcoming and supportive school community.
We encourage children to look after themselves, each other and the world around them.
Through care, we help every child feel valued, supported and ready to learn.
​
RESPECT
We treat everyone with kindness, courtesy and dignity.
We celebrate the different backgrounds, beliefs, cultures and experiences that make our
community special.
We encourage children to listen to others, appreciate difference and treat
everyone fairly.
INCLUSION
Everyone belongs at Ranelagh.
We value individuality, provide equal opportunities and make sure every child is supported to
participate, learn and succeed.
We are committed to creating an environment where every child feels seen, valued and able
to contribute to school life.
​
COMMUNITY
We believe that strong relationships create strong communities.
We work together with children, families, staff and the wider community to create a positive
and caring environment where everyone can flourish.
By working together, we can ensure that our children feel a strong sense of belonging and
understand the importance of being part of a wider community.
​
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
We nurture the whole child — academically, socially and emotionally.
We encourage children to become independent, resilient and confident learners who
understand themselves and appreciate others.
We help children develop the skills, attitudes and understanding they need to navigate
challenges, build positive relationships and become responsible young people.
​
CONFIDENCE
We encourage children to believe in themselves and their abilities.
We celebrate achievement, learn from mistakes and help children develop the confidence to
take on new challenges.
We want every child to recognise their strengths, embrace opportunities and understand that
mistakes are an important part of learning and growing.
​
ASPIRATION
We encourage every child to have high aspirations for themselves and their future.
We want our children to discover their potential, develop a love of learning and approach the
future with ambition and optimism.
Above all, we encourage every child to strive to be:
“The best that they can be.”
Our Ethos
At Ranelagh, children come first.
We strive to create a school where children are happy, where they feel that they belong and
where they are encouraged to succeed.
We believe that education is about more than academic achievement. It is about developing
kind, confident, respectful and responsible young people who are equipped to face the
future with optimism.
Our ethos is rooted in positive relationships, high expectations and a belief in the potential of
every child. We want our pupils to leave Ranelagh not only with the knowledge and skills
they need to succeed, but also with the confidence, resilience and character to make a positive
contribution to the world around them.
