As a culturally rich and diverse school,  we are fully committed to meeting the needs of our school community.  We are blessed with caring teachers and staff who work hard to make our school the very best it can be.

Pupils are encouraged to embrace our school values, celebrating the rich diversity of our school community, as they travel with us on their learning journey towards:

'Brighter Futures built with Ambition, Courage and Respect; filled with Love, Hope and Faith.'

We are a busy, friendly school, with lots going on. This website aims to give you a taste of school life, as well as providing regular updated information for both parents and pupils. 

The school actively encourages a warm, happy atmosphere that enables children to feel secure, and helps them to strive towards their individual goals.

We are very proud of our school and our children’s achievements, and welcome parents or visitors who may wish to see the school at work.

Everyone at RAMJS is committed to putting the children first. We aim to create an environment where all the children in our care enjoy coming to school, and make the best of all the opportunities they are offered.

We hope that you find our school website useful and informative.  Please contact school if you require any further information or would like to visit us to learn more about who we are and what we do.

Our Vision

Within this truly distinctive Methodist School, our common purpose is to enable every child to thrive academically, emotionally and spiritually and to become the person God intends them to be. We will be a school of which the local community and the Methodist Church are justly proud.

Our Mission

“Brighter futures built with Ambition, Courage and Respect; filled with Love, Hope and Faith” 

All at Ribbleton Avenue Methodist Junior School are Champions for Children: we want our children to have faith in themselves to become the people God intends them to be. RAMJS is a voluntary controlled church school serving a diverse community with a variety of complex needs. As a Methodist school we are challenged to ask, ‘What is the work of God in this place?’ We believe that God’s purpose for all people is that they should have ‘hope and a future’ (Jeremiah 29:11). In our context, as a diverse community in an area of significant economic, social and educational deprivation we believe we are called to work for transformation of our children, their families and our neighbourhood.  We are in a privileged position to have a positive impact on our locality and the children and families in it.

At RAMJS, diversity and uniqueness are celebrated. Our children are God’s children, made in God’s image. Our community brings together people of many faiths and beliefs into our one school family where we work together to build love, tolerance and respect into all we do.

The needs of our children underpin everything that we do. We want our children to be safe, healthy and filled with courage to embrace ‘life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10) in the world into which they are growing up. We aim to provide an ambitious learning experience that is skills based, developmental and suited to the modern day learner. We ‘lift our eyes to the hills’ (Psalm 121) and through exciting opportunities in lessons and the wider curriculum our children will become well rounded, caring, change-makers in our world. Each child is at the heart of all we do with their emotional and physical and spiritual needs being met through our holistic learning approaches so that they can become the best they can be – and are meant to be.
