Welcome to Ravenswood Community Primary School. Standing on the land where Ipswich Airport once took flight, we now empower our kind, caring, and hardworking school community to reach new heights together.
At Ravenswood, every child is on a unique flight path. Just as a pilot never takes to the skies without the right training and tools, we ensure our pupils are ready for any destination.
We build the academic foundations that provide real choice and the character required to navigate any journey. Whether heading toward secondary school, a future career, or an ambition not yet imagined, we ensure our pupils don't just get there . . . they get there in style.
Our aim is simple: Every child leaves Ravenswood ready for take-off – curious, capable, grounded, and excited for the journey ahead. Every decision we make is about how we give our children the best possible chances.

Our values are our flight instruments. They guide how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we thrive in our community.
Be Bold: Step forward, speak up, and embrace the challenge. Take pride in your potential and aim high.
Be Kind: Lead with empathy and compassion. Lift others through your actions and words, and strengthen the community around you.
Be You: Your identity is your strength. We celebrate the individuality that makes our squadron strong.
Be Safe: Excellence requires a secure foundation. We make wise choices to protect ourselves and our community.
We don’t just teach; we prepare children for the long haul.
At Ravenswood, we commit to:
The Ultimate runway: Securing academic basics in Reception and Year 1 to ensure every child has a smooth departure.
Navigational Support: Closing gaps in experience and skills so that every child, regardless of their starting point, can choose their own destination.
Emotional Readiness: Building the self-regulation and resilience needed to handle life’s turbulence.
Strong roots: Fostering the kindness and community pride that keep our pupils grounded, no matter how high they fly.

Take a look at what's been going on in our school community and the wider Trust.
October 2026
Our school is part of Compass Eko Trust. The Trust has launched All Achieving, Without Exception: The Compass Eko Trust Strategy 2026–2031, setting out the shared priorities for its schools over the next five years.
The strategy has been shaped through conversations with children and young people; parents and carers; staff; school leaders; governors and trustees.
It is centred around three priorities – Belonging, Equity and Thriving – with an ambition to build great schools where every child and young person flourishes, every colleague thrives and everyone belongs.
Feedback from school communities has directly influenced the final strategy, including commitments to strengthen ongoing parent and community voice, be clearer about what kindness means in practice and continue improving support for children and young people with SEND.
You can read the full strategy on the Compass Eko Trust website here.
