We are extremely proud of our school and we place great emphasis on our ability to provide a caring, secure and welcome environment for both pupils and staff members.

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.

We capture the hearts and minds of the children by offering a balanced, broad and relevant curriculum that enables all children to access quality learning opportunities and promotes their intellectual, personal, social, physical, moral, spiritual and cultural development.
