It is with great pleasure that I welcome to you to Rose Hill Primary School. Rose Hill is a welcoming and safe school where the enjoyment of learning is at the centre of all we do.
We believe in a broad and balanced curriculum which is enhanced and made purposeful through our enrichment opportunities, additional Forest Schools provision and Thrive approach which also support children's emotional and social well-being.
We are proud of our recent sporting successes and, alongside our specialist PE teacher, employ specialist sports and lifestyle coaches to support children and staff in making healthy choices and developing fitness and cookery skills. We also offer specialist teaching in other foundation subjects, such as French and music and through a variety of extracurricular clubs.
We all, children and adults alike, demonstrate the Rose Hill 6Rs of being respectful, resilient, risk-taking, resourceful, reflective and responsible creating a positive ethos. We would very much welcome you to visit us, Arrival and collection from the EYFS doors to the far right of the school building. Arrival through the gate to the left hand side of the Main Reception.
