About Ravenswood School

"Whether this is your first contact with our school or you have had links with us for many years, welcome to Ravenswood.  Pupils at Ravenswood come from  across North Somerset and from bordering local authorities.  Every pupil has unique and sometimes complex needs and our goal is to match our provision to enable each one to flourish in their development.

We believe partnerships between home, school and multi-agency professionals are of vital importance in meeting the needs of our pupils and in achieving our goal.  Other Ravenswood partners include School Governors and the Parents and Friends Association."

Mark Senior, Headteacher

This has been a brilliant year for our child. They came out of mainstream school as they could not cope with the environment. The school has brought her on leaps and bounds.
