Welcome to
Roseberry Primary
and Nursery School
A Message From Our
Head Teacher
The pupils, staff and governors extend a warm welcome to our school website. We hope that we can offer you some information about the wonderful things we do here at Roseberry Primary and Nursery School.
Our school building was 100 years old in 2021 but we had a full interior remodel in 2012 to modernise our classrooms and communal areas. We welcome children from the ages of 2 to 11 from the neighbouring villages of Newfield, Pelton, Grange Villa, West Pelton, High Handenhold and beyond. We offer very competitively priced breakfast and after-school clubs for pupils from Reception to Year 6 as well as a wide variety of free extra-curricular activities. Please see the School Clubs section for further details.
School Vision
At the heart of our community, we provide a safe and inclusive environment where individual achievement is proudly celebrated at every step. Our engaging and exciting curriculum inspires our pupils to explore the world and broadens their horizons in readiness for the adventures ahead.
Roseberry: Respectful. Resilient. Ready for life.

Paired Reading
Every week, each class pairs with another to share a book together. Younger children have the opportunity to be read to by an older child, or to practise their reading skills to an older audience. We have found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable activity for the...
Author Visits
We often invite authors to come into our school to work with the children. Most recently, Sarah Morrell, author of the ‘Molly’s Magic Brolly’ visited us and regaled children with stories of her life and writing practices.
