Ravensdale is a two-form entry primary school which serves a diverse catchment area in vibrant Wyken, an area to the east of Coventry. Our school community is built around five core values, chosen by everyone from across the wide Ravensdale family, as the character traits we all aspire to most: curiosity, collaboration, respect, resilience and kindness.
Growing these five values and ensuring they underpin everything our school does is important to us: we believe that living our lives with our core values driving our actions - and our words - helps us all to be the best we possibly can be. We have high expectations and aspirations for all.
Every member of the Ravensdale family, from pupils to parents and governors, is keen to learn, full of personality and very accepting of others.
