What Makes Us Ribbon
Our vision of ‘Growing Together’ encompasses everything we do and offer here at Ribbon Academy for all stakeholders including; children, staff, Trustees, families and our local community. Our rich curriculum offer, enhancements and work within the village provides the opportunities and support that is required to ensure that all stakeholders continue to ‘grow’ physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
Our Ribbon Virtues are based on ‘Character Traits’ that we promote through everything we do. The RESPECT framework supports our whole school approach to be able to help all stakeholders to develop their Resilience, Empathy, Self-awareness, Positivity, Excellence, Communication and Teamwork.
We try to be the very best version of ourselves by incorporating these virtues in our daily life at school and at home.
Resilience is:
To keep going when things get tough whilst learning from your mistakes; knowing that it’s fine to ask for help when you need it.
Empathy is:
The ability to understand how someone is feeling and knowing how to respond when others need your help.
Self-awareness is:
Having the ability to effectively judge our behaviour and understand how this can impact on those around us.
Positivity is:
Looking on the bright side even when life is difficult; showing certainty and demonstrating a positive mind-set.
Excellence is:
Striving for the very best in everything you do. Excellence requires hard work, commitment and aspiration.
Communication is:
The ability to talk so we can share what we are thinking and feeling. Communication is also being able to listen and respond effectively.
Teamwork is:
More than just getting along with others; it’s working respectfully and effectively within a group whilst doing your share of the work.
