We have approachable, professional, and committed staff, a dedicated and effective Governing Body, supportive parents, and exemplary children with positive attitudes to learning! We use high-quality resources and we have excellent facilities which contribute to a highly effective learning environment.
We are very proud of our school ethos, which is commented on by everyone who visits. Our children behave very well because they are keen to learn. this creates a purposeful environment where teachers can focus on teaching, and pupils can focus on learning.
We ensure our curriculum and quality of teaching are academically rigorous but that it doesn't lose breadth. Our mornings are very structured, and it is during this time we teach phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics. Our afternoons are dedicated to achieving a broad and balanced curriculum, and this is when children are taught science, geography, and history by their class teacher.
We have a team of talented and passionate specialist teachers and purpose-built classrooms. Every week, our specialist practitioners teach Art / DT / Food Tech, Computing, Music, PE, and RE across the school.
We offer a wide range of enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities. Every week, we run approximately 25 clubs, ranging from piano tuition to cookery classes. Every half term, we take advantage of our great city, by leading inspiring class trips into London to visit some of our greatest museums and landmarks. We also run overnight sleepovers for our pupils in Y3 and Y4 and Y5 and Y6, pupils have the opportunity to take part in a 4-5 day multi-activity residential trip.
At the end of the 7 years, pupils spend with us, many go on to achieve great things at secondary school and beyond. Last year, for example, we sent pupils on to some of the most prestigious secondary schools, including Chesham Grammar, City of London, Haberdashers. Henrietta Barnet, Langley Grammar, Queen Elizabeth's, Upton Court Grammar, and St Helen's. This is a testament to the hard work and collaborative efforts of our children, staff, and parents.
Our pursuit for excellence is something that I look forward to celebrating with you in the coming weeks, months, and years. We look forward to working with you to make your child’s years at Roxbourne Primary School a truly happy and rewarding time. Together we will help your child ‘achieve their goals.’
We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment in which all children achieve their goals. Through active, inclusive teaching and learning we will work in partnership with parents and the community to create a school where everyone is valued.
Our children will leave us as happy, articulate, respectful individuals able to fulfill their unique potential. Our children will be:
