Our Vision and Values

Green Ridge is an inclusive setting that is committed to ensuring all children have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential within a stimulating and physically and emotionally safe environment. All children are suitably challenged and supported and are given what they need equitably in order to thrive.  

Equality Duty

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• Promote equality of access and opportunity within our school and within our wider community
• Promote positive attitudes to difference and good relationships between people with different backgrounds, genders, cultures, faiths, abilities and ethnic origins.

Key values upon which the academy is based:

Touchstones

Green Ridge models itself on the touchstones of REAch2, whereby as a Trust and an individual academy, we are committed to creating a culture that strongly reflects our Touchstones, seven principles that makes our academy unique and sets us apart from others.  Our touchstones are used to express the values and ethos of the Trust and of Green Ridge, and describe what we will be known for and how we operate:

Core Values

Green Ridge has six core value which underpin all aspects of academy life.  Through assemblies and throughout the curriculum these values make explicit the values for life which children will need to recognise and show:

• Honesty
• Forgiveness
• Gratitude
• Friendship
• Responsibility
• Respect

These values go hand-in-hand with many other important qualities that children will develop during their time at Green Ridge. For example, gratitude is closely linked to humility, while honesty helps to build trust. Although children will explore a wide range of values, particular emphasis will be placed on our six core values. Through this, we strive to help children become kind, respectful, responsible and compassionate individuals who make a positive contribution to the world around them. Children will develop the confidence to talk about these values, understand their importance, and apply them in their daily lives both within the academy and beyond.
