About Ridgefield Primary School
Welcome!
A very warm welcome to the Ridgefield Primary School website. As you find out more about us, you will begin to get a feel for what makes our school special, the strong focus we place on building a learning community and our vision to ensure that every child is happy, feels valued and experiences success.
Ridgefield is small, 1 form entry primary school in Cambridge with approximately 210 pupils, we also benefit from a 26 place nursery which provides fully funded places for 3 and 4 year olds. We have a fun, family-friendly feel and we want to make school an inviting place where everyone knows that learning can be an adventure.
Our experienced and committed staff make learning fun and exciting. They reflect the very best of classroom practice and, quite simply, enjoy their profession. They learn with the children, they talk with the children and they celebrate successes with the children. They work relentlessly to ensure every child in their care achieves the best he or she possibly can.
The last few years have been challenging for schools but we have learned that together, working as a community, we can be resilient and overcome barriers.
Our vision, ethos and values are:
Vision
At Ridgefield, we will provide a welcoming school community in which all our pupils, whatever their background, are developed to be successful brave explorers and truly great thinkers.
Through our mantra 'Brave Explorers, Great Thinkers' we aim to:
- promote success for all our pupils;
- treat everyone with equal value and respect;
- be a caring, sharing community which welcomes everyone.
We aim to teach our children to:
- be respectful;
- be responsible;
- be proud.
Ethos
We want our children to take pride in their achievements, to develop self-discipline, to accept responsibility for their own actions and to show consideration towards others.
Our ethos is – ‘Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Proud’ and this underpins our Behaviour policy.
A positive approach to discipline based on praise and rewards is emphasised. However on the rare occasions when children do not respond to this policy, the agreed sanctions will be applied. Throughout the process, parents will be involved and informed.
At Ridgefield Primary School, we are proud of our diverse community. We aim to be an inclusive and welcoming school where every child and their family feels that they belong. Therefore we aim to develop a culture of celebration and respect within our school community. We recognise that we have a duty to ensure that achievement is carefully tracked for all children in our school and that provision is put in place to ensure that all children achieve to their full potential, regardless of their background.
British Values
We promote the British Values of Democracy, the Rule of Law, Individual Liberty, Mutual Respect and Tolerance. We do this through our day-to-day practices, our ethos around the school as well as through a programme of whole school activities including our PSHE and relationships education, our assemblies and inclusion of children in our decision making processes.
A good example, of British Values in action would be the annual elections to the school council, where the children are elected by their peers.
We are very proud of our school song, please check this out on our school website:
