Vision and Values
Together we Nurture, Believe, Achieve and Succeed
Ravenscliffe prides itself in raising aspirations and maximising potential. This enables all students to thrive and prepare for a happy, successful and bright future. We aspire to achieve this by:
- Providing a positive, well-resourced learning environment staffed by trained and committed professionals.
- Maintaining high expectations in terms of attendance, behaviour and co-operation in learning.
- Providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum, which excites and challenges students in equal measure.
- Ensuring a safe and caring environment where individual views on religious and cultural issues are respected as students develop into responsible citizens.
- Working closely with parents, carers and the local community.
- Managing the funding and resources available in an effective and efficient manner.
Admissions
As a generic secondary specialist school, Ravenscliffe provides education for students aged 11 to 19 years with clearly identified special educational needs. Students are referred to Ravenscliffe by Calderdale Council and it is they who place pupils here. Parents and carers who may be considering Ravenscliffe as a suitable placement for their child should contact Calderdale Children and Young People’s Services first to discuss a possible placement. Details of how to contact the admissions team can be found here.
A preliminary visit to the school can be made after contacting the Headteacher to arrange a suitable date and time. General ‘open’ visits are scheduled once per half term to minimise disruption to the curriculum and students’ learning.
