The Rawmarsh Way: Our Guiding Philosophy

Central to our ethos is ‘The Rawmarsh Way‘ – a set of core values that define our school culture. The Rawmarsh Way is a set of 12 statements that aim to develop students’ independence, responsibility, and resilience. These principles are woven into every aspect of school life, shaping not just what we teach, but how we teach and interact with one another.

We are committed to ensuring all students experience success and have the best educational experience possible. Our core business is teaching and learning through an innovative, broad, and challenging curricular and extracurricular offer, including our Rawmarsh Pledge. Our high challenge, low fear school climate that we all invest in so heavily provides students with the right environment to be the absolute best they can be in everything they do.

Our staff are dedicated to ensuring Rawmarsh Community School is a school that our students enjoy developing in and one our community can be proud of.
