At Lemington Riverside Primary School, our values are at the heart of everything we do. They guide the way we learn, play, and grow together as a community. We believe that by living these values each day, our children are empowered to thrive—both now and in the future.

Our values remind us of who we are, what we stand for, and the kind of world we want to help shape.

WE ARE LEMINGTON
We are proud of our heritage and our community. We carry the name of Lemington with pride, representing our classes, our school, and our families in all that we do.

WE ARE COLLABORATIVE
We achieve more when we work together. By listening to and supporting one another, we build strong teams where every voice matters and every contribution counts.

Life isn’t always easy, but we know that challenges help us grow. When things get tough, we keep going, stay positive, and give our very best effort—because perseverance leads to success.

WE ARE DISCIPLINED
We make thoughtful choices, show self-control, and treat others with respect. If we make mistakes, we see them as opportunities to learn, improve, and move forward.

WE ARE GLOBAL
We are curious about the world around us and celebrate its diversity. We look beyond Lemington, Newcastle, and the North East, developing an understanding and respect for different cultures, beliefs, and perspectives.

WE ARE AMBITIOUS
We believe that every child has unique gifts and talents waiting to be discovered. At Lemington Riverside, we nurture aspirations and encourage every child to dream big—because with determination, anything is possible.
