What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Roselands Primary School is a joyful place where pupils feel happy and safe. Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive because their personal, social and emotional development is prioritised alongside their academic progress. They develop a deep understanding of the school's values of independence, collaboration, resilience and ambition. This is reflected in pupils' exemplary behaviour and highly positive attitudes towards their learning. The school's curriculum is broad and ambitious. Pupils enjoy their learning and talk confidently about topics such as Buddhism, ancient Rome and migration. Many pupils achieve exceptionally well in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils love reading and talking about books. The school's extra-curricular provision, and its focus on character development, are particular strengths. All pupils have the opportunity to represent the school during their time here. Many take part in sports and performing arts clubs. The school also ensures that pupils learn skills such as first aid, personal finance and teamwork. They attend residential trips and undertake projects within the local community. Pupils raise money for charities, developing their sense of social responsibility. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
