At Ribbleton Avenue Infant School we are using our whole school Vision and Values to inspire us all to be the best we can be.

Our mission is:

• Provide a safe and secure environment.
• Create a varied and challenging learning experience.
• Celebrate achievements of all.
• Encourage every child to become thoughtful and independent.
• Work in partnership with parents, carers and our community.
• Respect and value all customs and beliefs.

Our school Values are...

• Respect- Every person has a voice.  We listen to each other.  We are polite, kind and considerate.  We take care of our school and our environment.

• Equality & Friendship- We treat each other fairly! We are friends.
• Pride-we take great pride in our presentation, our work and most importantly ourselves.
• Good Citizen- we make positive contributions to school society and beyond.
• Ribbleton Award-This award is for children who have achieved the 4 school values.

To celebrate when we have demonstrated our 4 Values we have 4 different coloured certificates and all our children are working on collecting all 4 over the year.
