“Pupils enjoy a range of opportunities that build their independence and confidence.”

Children are “….polite and respectful to adults. They are proud members of the school community.”

(Mr Andrew J Edwards - Executive Headteacher)

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to be joining The Revel Primary School as your new Head of School and am looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful community.

 

From my very first visit, it was clear that The Revel is a special place. The warm welcome I received, the enthusiasm of the children and the dedication of the staff all left a lasting impression. I feel incredibly proud to be joining a school with such a strong sense of family and community. I feel privileged to be joining a school where kindness, respect and a shared commitment to helping every child flourish are clearly at the heart of daily life.

 

I have worked in primary education since 2007 and held leadership positions across four schools. I have long believed that schools are about far more than academic success alone. Every child deserves to feel valued, inspired and challenged to be the very best version of themselves. I am passionate about creating an environment where children love learning, develop confidence and leave school with the knowledge, skills and character to thrive.

 

As a proud parent of two children, aged 11 and 15, I understand the trust families place in their school every day. I know how important it is for children to feel happy, safe and excited to come to school and I believe the strongest partnerships are built when home and school work closely together.

 

Outside of school, you'll usually find me spending precious time with my family, reading a good book, walking in the countryside or enjoying live music. These are the moments that help me recharge and remind me of the importance of curiosity, balance and enjoying life's experiences—qualities I hope to encourage in every child.

 

What excites me most about joining The Revel is getting to know the children, families and wider community. I know the school already has a strong foundation, and I am excited about building on that success together. I believe there should be no limit to what our children can achieve when we work together as a school and community. I look forward to working in partnership with you to ensure every child flourishes and has every opportunity to succeed.

 

I am very much looking forward to meeting you all over the coming weeks and months, hearing your hopes and aspirations for the school and becoming an active part of The Revel family.

 

I am excited about the journey ahead.

Best wishes,

Mr Richard McKenzie

 

The Revel Primary School is a place where your child will receive a first class education from a hard working and well qualified team of teachers and support staff. Our pupils are valued and challenged academically by caring and committed teachers with high expectations for all.  Our curriculum is carefully designed to enable your child to receive a full and balanced education, rich in experience and adventure.

 

The relationship between home and school is one of partnership; the co-operation and support between both is essential to your child’s development at school.  Parents and families are a much-valued part of our school community as we work together to help our children thrive.

 

'The Revel Primary School' was formed through the amalgamation of the small local schools from each of the Revel villages 23 years ago.  As the school has grown, we have developed satellite sites in two of our neighbouring villages, modernising the old village school buildings.  Years 1-6 are based at our main site in Monks Kirby, a beautiful rural location with views over open fields and expansive outdoor space for adventurous learning.  Reception are based in a specially designed Early Years setting in Brinklow and our Early Birds nursery are based at the heart of the village of Harborough Magna.  Whilst our sites may be distanced geographically, our ethos and vision remain the same - all three sites are connected by the same passion to provide excellence for every child in our care.

Our Vision as a Learning Community

 

"To nurture confidence and curiosity, to equip our children with the skills, qualities and passion needed for life-long learning"

 

 

We have eight learning values, which are embedded into our daily classroom routines.  Children are actively taught how to become effective learners through our four 'learning actions' and understand how to be a resilient and ambitious learner through our four 'learning mindsets'.  Children are rewarded for demonstrating these values during the school day, not just by the adults but also by one another as we encourage children to reflect on their own learning skills and enjoy collaborating as part of a learning community.

Our Vision as a Christian Community

 

"To walk alongside one another as we grow in compassion and service, living our Christian values together"

As a proud Church of England school our ethos and values all contribute to our growth as a Christian learning community.  We have twelve Christian Values, taking each in turn every half term and using this as a focus for our Collective Worship and reflection time.
