Learning at Ranvilles facilitates opportunities for learners to explore and identify values, learning today for the challenges of tomorrow. Learning is ambitious and explorative, challenging children to think hard, with open-minds, to push new boundaries and become path makers. Together we focus on discovering what is happening now to enable our pupils to be kind, educated citizens and knowledgeable, compassionate future leaders.
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) lines of enquiry and learning are at the heart of learning. Children actively explore global cultural differences, similarities and values. They evaluate, reflect and actively engage in research, discussion, collaborative and individual pursuits to establish considered, personal viewpoints.
Our diverse curriculum provokes deep thought and reflection; core questions linked to Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural learning (SMSC) drive collaboration and a quest for knowledge and understanding. We have designed a curriculum that fulfils the requirements of the National Curriculum and meets the needs of the pupils in our school while promoting values of:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
- Individual liberty
- Mutual respect
- Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs
Behaviours and Attitudes
Behaviour and attitudes of pupils are promoted through Ranvilles STARS.
Through our Behaviour and Attitudes STARS we underpin the need for all learners to feel safe in school physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. We promote equality of opportunity and good relations. We build self-esteem and confidence in our pupils so that they can use these qualities to influence their own relationships with others.
