The Middlesex County Council in 1927 purchased about 17¾ acres in Bacon Lane, North Kingsbury. A portion of this area was appropriated as a site for an elementary school and the remainder is being used for the new buildings of the Kingsbury County School together with a playing field.
The school was first open as Roe Green School on the 8th February 1932. On 11th September 1933, the junior and infant school separated to become Roe Green Infant School and Roe Green Junior School. The staff in the Junior school consisted of the Head Master, Mr. A. Johnson, and ten assistant teachers.
Roe Green Junior school is a vibrant multi-cultural and multi-faith school in the very diverse London Borough of Brent. At Roe Green Juniors we respect the diversity of backgrounds of all our pupils. The acknowledgment that all people are to be valued regardless of beliefs, background, or ethnic origin is embedded in the core values that underpin our school.
‘To create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.’
Throughout their time at Roe Green Juniors, pupils are taught about the school’s core values based on the Olympic and Paralympic values, namely Courage, Friendship, Equality, Excellence, Inspiration, Determination and Respect
Pupils are taught the value and reasons behind rules and laws that they govern and protect us, the responsibilities that this involves, and the consequences when laws are broken. Visits from authorities such as the police and Transport police help reinforce this message.
At Roe, Green pupils are actively encouraged to make choices knowing that they are in a safe and supportive environment.
Pupils are supported to develop their self-knowledge, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
Pupils are encouraged to know, understand and exercise their rights and personal freedoms and advised how to exercise these safely, for example through our e-safety teaching and PSHCE lessons.
Vulnerable pupils are protected and stereotypes challenged. A strong anti-bullying culture is embedded in the school and any form of bullying is challenged and addressed. The school also operates a robust system of logging incidents.
At Roe Green Juniors we believe that a healthy school is successful in helping pupils to do their best and build on their achievements. We are committed to the ongoing improvement and development of children in all areas of their lives.
We promote physical and emotional health by providing accessible and relevant information and equipping pupils with the skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Our school motto, ‘Be the Best You Can Be’, supports this ethos.
During our last OFSTED inspection, the extent to which our pupils adopt healthy lifestyles was considered to be ‘outstanding’. We continue to make this a priority in our school and encourage children to be both physically and mentally healthy.
Healthy living is explored through a variety of curriculum areas, such as Science, PSHCE, PE, and DT, as well as through themed days, visits, and workshops. For example, Year 3 undertake a healthy living day with the organization ‘A-Life,’ which looks at diet and exercise to maintain a healthy body.
Children are encouraged to exercise in a variety of ways during playtimes. This includes the use of playground equipment, football, and the adventure garden.
Classes have the opportunity to use guided reflection CDs which help to calm the mind and give the children time to reflect and cool down.
