Assemblies
A SCHOOL WHERE FAMILIES BELONG, CELEBRATE AND CONTRIBUTE
Fortnightly from Autumn 2 for our lower phase (Nursery/Reception) and weekly from September for middle (Years 1 to 3) and upper (Years 4 to 6), Showing Assemblies involve classes showcasing and presenting key learning from the week and teachers announcing Curriculum and Values awards winners. Families are always invited to share in the celebration. Join us straight after drop off for a 9;00 am start for the lower phase assembly or for a prompt 14:30 pm start for the middle or upper assembly.
Lower assembly dates are included in the calendar. Follow the link below to access this:

To facilitate families visiting both the middle and upper assembly, the middle phase assembly will start with and proceed through the classes showing that week before progressing to the awards. The upper phase assembly will start with the awards before progressing to the classes showing.
Information about the middle and upper assemblies can be found on the link below:
EXCELLENCE ROOTED IN RELEVANCE, REFLECTING EVERY LEARNER
For middle and upper, there are two additional assemblies each week. Assemblies are led by senior or middle leaders on Tuesday and Mr O'Kane on Wednesday. The focus varies as we move through the year but could include:
- The launch of our value of the half term
- A UNICEF Convention on the Right of the Child Article focus
- A local, national or international event with links made to our school and British values
- A PATHS (social emotional learning) focus
The assembly themes will often be contextualised with a high-quality text that classes are invited to borrow and continue reading with their teachers.
Keep an eye on the assembly section of our weekly newsletters to keep abreast of our latest shared thinking and keep the reflective conversations going at home.
END OF TERM CELEBRATIONS
To end the Autumn and Summer terms, families are invited to special end of term celebrations
Lower: Ravenstone school hall

The celebrations vary depending on the time of the year but all include the coveted Academic Excellence and Outstanding Values awards (and in the summer, for upper phase, an individually awarded Values Trophy). These are awarded in Spring, too, but held with school staff only.
