Our School and Nursery
Mr Midgley Principal
I would like to warmly welcome you to the Raynville Academy website.
Our website is a place where parents, carers, families, stakeholders and prospective parents and carers can access a wealth of information about the academy. This website should provide you with a sense of the quality, culture and ethos of our fantastic and nurturing school of which I, as the Principal, am immensely proud. Parents and our wider community can be confident that every one of our children is safe, cherished, encouraged and brilliantly taught from Nursery to Year 6. Raynville Academy is in the heart of the Bramley community and benefits extensively from being a part of The Great Heights Trust whose vision has school improvement at its heart which will benefit all children in the Trust schools.
We are an inclusive school where all children are welcomed, regardless of their current ability or background. We believe all children should be able to learn together in a stimulating environment and be inspired to be their best. We celebrate the richness of our children’s identities, be it their talents and interests, their gender, cultural or ethnic heritage, language or additional needs.
Safeguarding children is very important to us. We take great care in making sure that our policies reflect our practice and procedures. If a child is experiencing difficulties at home or at school then we have experienced staff across school to help them feel listened to, included and who are then able to get the help the child or family need. Children have a voice at our school. They are encouraged to help make decisions about changes we are making.
Research shows that attendance is an important factor in student achievement – a missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. We firmly believe that for children to reach full potential from their education it is vital that they attend regularly and be at school, on time, every day the school is open unless the reason for the absence is unavoidable. Regular school attendance shows a commitment to our school and provides your child with the routines expected in society. It gives children the opportunity to benefit from education and avoid being drawn into anti-social or criminal behaviours. Children who are continually late are missing an important part of the day including work setting and social interaction with their peers.
If you would like to find out more about the remarkable things that are taking place at the academy, then please do contact us. We would love for you to visit us to see the impact of our exceptional work first hand.

“The future is in our hands”
Raynville Academy Values and Vision
Welcome to Raynville Academy, where we firmly believe that ‘the future is in our hands’!
As you enter our happy and lively school, get ready to dive into an environment that fosters confidence, resilience, and independence. Our primary goal is to nurture our children, ensuring they are ready to embark on their academic journey where they are inspired to be their best selves by our excellent staff. Our goal is to ignite creativity and place no limits on future paths. Together, we embark on an exciting adventure where we explore, learn, and evolve, ready to make a mark on the world.
In our primary school, learning is infused with fun! We relish opportunities to provide children with an inspiring and balanced curriculum filled with exciting visitors, first hand experiences and enriching out-of-school activities. We take delight in witnessing curiosity through inquiries and determination in solving problems. Through engaging lessons and the support of friends and teachers, children are well-equipped to overcome obstacles and challenges, and become well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to society. Every child is encouraged to recognise their potential to shape the future.
We foster a love of reading throughout school because we understand how critical reading is to accessing learning in all subjects and future opportunities. We provide high quality, diverse and engaging texts which give children a head start on expanding their vocabulary and igniting their imagination. Reading is the key that unlocks the door to lifelong learning.
In our school, we want everyone to reach their potential to make a difference and become self-assured individuals who interact respectfully with others. We are here to guide the children in discovering their unique qualities whilst celebrating the diversity of all. By setting the highest expectations for behaviour and attendance in a safe and nurturing school environment, we are equipping the children with the tools to succeed.
We firmly believe that the warm and positive relationships between our staff, pupils and community, not only encourage ambitions but also nurture confidence and a sense of responsibility. Through this approach, our children will grow into respectful and responsible leaders, ready to navigate an ever-changing diverse world with the future in their hands.
