Vision

At Red Oaks Primary School, we believe that every child feels valued as individuals and that everyone has a role to play in the life of the school.  We are committed to an inclusive, welcoming community where all pupils – regardless of background, ability, identity or need – are valued, supported and able to flourish academically and socially.  Guided by our school values as set out below, children are encouraged to be active participants in their own learning, have a positive attitude, perseverance and set high expectations of themselves.

Intent

We aim to:

• Ensure every child feels seen, valued and understood.
• Remove barriers to learning so all pupils can access high-quality teaching and ambitious opportunities.
• Celebrate diversity as a source of strength and deepen understanding of justice, respect and compassion.
• Work in partnership with families to support each child’s full development.

Together, we nurture a community where all are empowered to Aspire, Achieve and Grow.

The Red Oaks Way

At Red Oaks Primary School, we teach children “The Red Oaks Way” in order to achieve our vision of Aspire, Achieve and Grow. 

These values are all central to the way that we share our expectations of good behaviour and also how we speak to the children when they have displayed inappropriate behaviour. The Red Oaks Way is an integral part of everyday language at the school, referred to by all members of staff, ensuring that a shared language is used for clarity. It is explicitly taught at the start of each term at an age-appropriate level to ensure that children have a clear understanding of what The Red Oaks Way means. These are expectations that are in place to ensure that all children can be safe, that good order can be maintained and so that children can Aspire, Achieve and Grow. 

We also teach children these values and expectations through our weekly Values Assembly and within each class assembly.
