Governors are looking to appoint candidates who advocate these values and who demonstrate a true desire to work at Roseacre and be part of our exceptional team.

At Roseacre Primary Academy we foster a shared vision of “Excellence for All – Excellence from All”, encouraging every child and adult to give their best and to expect the best in return.

The ethos of the academy is evident as you walk around the school, take in the displays, soak up the atmosphere and speak to children and staff. The Roseacre Values of Respect, Excellence, Determination, Tolerance, Courage and Honesty are high profile and children’s achievements are detailed and celebrated in weekly assemblies. The Roseacre expectations ensure that our high expectations of behaviour are clear and that every child has the chance to make appropriate choices and achieve.
