Our Ethos
At Rivermead Primary School we believe an inclusive school is one in which the teaching and learning,
achievements, attitudes and well-being of every pupil matter.
Effective learning and teaching is promoted through an emotionally supportive environment and a culture of mutual respect, high expectations and aspirations.
We welcome, value and nurture every person and his or her individuality. We are responsive to the
individual’s personal, social and educational needs, starting from what they can do. We make learning vivid and real, through enquiry, creativity, the use of appropriate technology and problem solving, within and beyond the curriculum.
As a school, we provide a vibrant, happy and safe learning environment which enables every child to achieve the best they can regardless of gender, ethnic or social background or educational needs.
In addition we promote the importance of healthy lifestyles, respect for the environment and the value of
mutual respect, and prepare our pupils for the responsibilities and opportunities that arise throughout life in a multi-cultural and technological society.
