Welcome to our school, where we are dedicated to providing and excellent education for every child in every classroom, everyday. We create an inspiring environment filled with opportunities to learn, grow and discover their potential.
I am delighted to offer you a very warm welcome to Lift New Rickstones.
New Rickstones is a vibrant and inclusive school where young people of all abilities are supported to achieve. We are proud of our caring and ambitious community, where students feel safe, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. We place equal importance on academic success and personal growth because who our students become matters just as much as what they achieve.We believe firmly that every child can succeed. Our role is to provide the guidance, support and challenge needed to help each student thrive. Our curriculum and wider school experience are built around three key drivers: Ambition, Character and Opportunity. Together, these shape the culture of our school and underpin everything we do.
Ambition sits at the heart of our curriculum. We are committed to high expectations for all and to providing the right scaffolding and support so that every student, whatever their starting point, can achieve their very best.
Character underpins our pastoral care, our TPP approach and our behaviour systems. It is about more than rules and routines; it is about developing resilience, responsibility and integrity, helping students to learn from mistakes and grow into confident, respectful young people.
Opportunity ensures that all students benefit from rich personal development and enrichment, both within and beyond the classroom. We want every young person to recognise the possibilities open to them and to leave us equipped with the knowledge, experiences and confidence to take their next steps.
Everything we do at Lift New Rickstones is focused on ensuring our students are safe, happy, successful and that they feel a strong sense of pride in their school. We are committed to building on our achievements so that current and future students are well prepared for the opportunities and challenges of life in the 21st century.
