This library is a lot bigger and I like the nature theme. It is more like a real library, not cramped like the old library. Taleen (Year 5) The library is amazing! I literally love it! It looks organised but nice and cosy. It makes me feel like I am reading in a forest. Malakai (Year 5) Its enjoyable listening to younger children read. I like helping them.
Being a Reading Buddy makes me feel proud and responsible. Isabel (Year 6) Welcome to our school where we believe that We are a fairly large school in the Derby suburb of Chaddesden. Along with some amazing staff, we are fortunate to be well resourced with large classrooms, a separate hall and gym, large playing field, multi-use games area and nurture unit.
At Roe Farm, we provide a deep, meaningful learning experience for all our pupils that provides the foundations for continued success. Check out our new displays showing our vision and values
