Ranworth Square Primary School

Our school is located in the Norris Green area of Liverpool. The school provides excellent facilities and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere for pupils, staff and visitors alike. Here at Ranworth Square Primary School we are a thriving school community working together to create a warm, welcoming family atmosphere, at the heart of which is our Vision which is key to the development of our children:

We aspire for all our children to become confident, secure, caring individuals who achieve personal success, develop a love of learning and achieve their academic potential'. We endeavor to equip our pupils with the tools and opportunities to reach their full potential in all aspects of education and personal development, underpinned by the values of love, respect and justice.

We pride ourselves on our strong partnership with parents and the local community. It is this partnership which enables us to not only provide a rich and stimulating curriculum for our children, but to offer a wide range of opportunities for adults in the community. We are proud of our achievements and welcome the opportunity to share our learning experiences with you. We aim to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing regular updated information for families and pupils.

At Ranworth we care about our children – our mission statement explains how we aim to enable pupils to maximise their potential; both intellectually and socially, by creating a stimulating, secure and caring environment in which a broad and balanced education is provided (Love Learning for Life). We hope that our broad and balanced curriculum and fantastic pastoral care allow our children to achieve and be happy at our school.

The national picture for assessment in schools has never been more complicated for children and parents to understand. We hope that we can explain our ethos for purposeful assessment and how and why we carry out assessments. We did this so that the children follow the same assessment process throughout their time at Ranworth. Children are assessed against AGE RELATED EXPECTATIONS (learning stages).

In each year group children are assessed against their knowledge, skills and understanding of the learning that they have been completing over periods of time. We use a range of written assessments, questioning and Pupil Progress meetings to make judgements on how the children are learning. Teachers and school leaders then use this information to support or challenge our children to ensure that our curriculum best suits their needs.

Our school is committed to safeguarding children and promoting children’s welfare and expects all staff, governors, volunteers and visitors to share this commitment and maintain a vigilant and safe environment.

Everyone has a responsibility to act without delay to protect children by reporting anything that might suggest a child is being abused or neglected. It is our willingness to work safely and challenge inappropriate behaviors that underpins this commitment. The school seeks to work in partnership with families and other agencies to improve the outcomes for children who are vulnerable or in need before the problem escalates.
