Ryfield strives for excellence; our job is to make peopl ethe best that they can be.

Ryefield will be an excellent school where children love learning. We want all our children to achieve the highest standards possible in a thriving multicultural learning environment.

Above all we want our school to touch on the lives of all our children to ensure they grow up to be reflective, self-aware, and resourceful. They are at peace with themselves; empathetic towards others and confident young people.

We strive to achieve excellence by following a school creed:

I intend to always do my best and treat everyone I meet with kindness and care.

I intend to be loving instead of angry, generous instead of greedy and will always be honest.

I intend to look after others and their belongings, respect my surroundings and care for the environment.

This can be achieved through:

• providing a challenging, stimulating, caring environment where children can be encouraged to develop to their full potential
• encouraging independence, responsibility, self-discipline and a genuine pride in our achievements and our school
• enabling all children to be granted respect irrespective of age, race, creed, gender, background or ability
• developing every child academically, physically, morally and spiritually
• offering well-planned and appropriately resourced teaching
• equipping our children for the future and to nurture a desire to learn
• showing care and sensitivity in the way we behave with one another in our school and the community
