Head's welcome

On behalf of the children, staff and governors of Roos CE Primary School, I am delighted to welcome you to our wonderful school.

We are incredibly proud of our school, the curriculum and learning activities we provide, and the experiences we give to children, where all are provided with the opportunity to succeed. We provide a vibrant, positive learning environment with extensive and well-planned outdoor facilities. Our expectations of the children are high and they are challenged in their learning to do their very best.

Your child is unique and it is our responsibility to cater for their needs and help them to achieve their potential. We aim to develop children and allow them to flourish, in academic areas and creative areas as well as socially. As we build upon the foundations of the Christian faith, we raise awareness of the fact that everyone matters, of an understanding of right from wrong and valuing and respecting others.

Our Christian vision is for every member of our school family to ‘shine’ through a positive, nurturing environment underpinned by an enriched, inspiring curriculum that celebrates learning, fun and the wider achievements of all of our children and community, in order that everyone can ‘Live Life in all its fullness’ (John 10:10)

We encourage our children to 'shine' as a light to others in our community, being the best version of themselves and guiding others: "Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:15)

We promote excellence in everything we do and in the way we live, inspiring our children for life today, tomorrow and in the future, and guiding them in the true value of learning to "let your light shine!" (Matthew 5:16)

We summarise this in the simple statement: “Together we Care, Learn and Shine.”

We are dedicated to a positive partnership between home, school and community and we aim to build on skills and experiences that your child has at home when your child joins us. We look forward to working with you as you take an active and positive interest in what your child is doing at school.

Thank you,

Aimee Christian
